An Indian captain gets attacked in his own cockpit at 34,000 feet.
flydubai FZ1073, Dubai to Tel Aviv, 170+ people on board. The Omani co-pilot allegedly tries to take the plane down. It drops thousands of feet in seconds.
Captain Smit Machchhar, bleeding and lying on the cockpit floor, reaches up and releases the door lock. The relief pilots rush in, take control and land at Tabuk. Everyone walks off alive.
The weapon was probably the crash axe that every airliner is required to carry in the cockpit. It's there to save lives.
Netanyahu called them "heroes who showed extraordinary courage."
BBC went with "Israel-bound flight diverted after fight between pilots."
A fight. Like two colleagues arguing over the AC.
And be honest: if that plane had gone down, whose name would have been in the first headline? We've already seen how quickly the Indian captain gets blamed. Remember AI171.
Neerja Bhanot then. Smit Machchhar now. We are Indians. We are selfless. We fight terrorists, defeat their plans and save lives! 🫡🇮🇳
My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
The situation was quite like 9/11.
Terrorist trained to be a pilot, looks for an opportunity to enter the cockpit, and then kill the captain to eventually take control of the plane & crash it.
This plan was even more foolproof. The terrorist was the co-pilot, no need of announcing a hijack, had an axe instead of a box-cutter, and just had to neutralise one pilot instead of two.
Imagine the bravery of the Indian pilot, who was relentlessly being attacked by an axe, yet managed to relay the signal of a hi jack. And MOST IMPORTANTLY opened the cockpit door so that others can enter. Saved 100+ lives.
The Gujarati pilot, Smit deserves the biggest bravery award. 🙏
🚨OSINT — WAS A LARGER REGIONAL MEETING HELD IN ABU DHABI?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made an unannounced visit to Abu Dhabi on Sunday, where he met UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed.
But flight-tracking data raises an interesting question: Was Netanyahu’s meeting part of something larger?
Around the same time Netanyahu’s private jet M-ULTI arrived in Abu Dhabi, OSINT flight trackers recorded several other government or VIP-linked aircraft converging on the UAE capital, including:
• A Libyan aircraft reportedly linked to the Haftar camp
• A Moroccan Air Force C-130
• A Qatari government aircraft
• A UAE-owned aircraft arriving from Riyadh
Netanyahu’s aircraft reportedly flew through Jordanian and Saudi airspace before reaching Abu Dhabi.
No one has confirmed so far that these flights were connected or that a broader summit took place. Some of the aircraft may have been in Abu Dhabi for unrelated reasons. Still, the concentration of regional government/VIP traffic within the same window as Netanyahu’s previously undisclosed meeting with MBZ is notable and worth watching.
Ashok Mittal, founder of Lovely Professional University shifts from AAP to BJP in 2026 along with 6 other Rajya Sabha members of AAP.
News randomly spreads on SM that a girl was raped in the University. No victim is identified.
"Students" randomly burn the university.
Al Jazeera covers this protest.
Somehow NOBODY says a word against AAP led Punjab government.
Chronology aap khud samajhiye.

First, they killed cash & got everyone addicted to free UPI
Now that we can't buy a ₹10 chai without scanning a QR code, they want a cut?
Banks are sitting on ₹2 lakh crore profits & charging the common man to move his own money is pure scam
India mein koi 5 minutes number Google kar le to doodh ka doodh paani ka paani ho jaye.
RBI surplus to Govt : ₹2.87 Lakh Crores (US$30 Bn)
Total listed bank profits : ₹4.11 Lakh Crores (US$42 Bn)
NPCI - which runs UPI pre tax ‘surplus’ : ₹ 1,888 crores (US$200 Mn)
To nuksaan kis ka ho raha hai UPI se aur kaunsi subsidy de rahi hai Govt UPI pe jo chubh rahi hai?
Cost of running ATMs and cash logistics in India is ₹30,500 crores (US$ 3.0 Bn). If you want to optimise shut ATMs and promote UPI instead.
Any levy on UPI is just tax collection. UPI is the one scientific achievement of India everyone acknowledges par ab tax ki bali chadhegi.
Bhai Chandra sahab ke ₹22,000 crores maaf nahi karte to India mein UPI agle 20 saal tak free chal jaata by government’s number of ₹8,000 crores subsidy.
Also NPCI - which runs UPI has ₹6,119 hard cash on its balance sheet and pre tax operating profit of ₹1,900 crores. NPCI apne cash pe and profits par zindagi bhar UPI free chala sakti hai. Government ka kuchh lena dena hi nahi hai. Government earned ₹1,000 crores tax from NPCI last year.

Spent 3 days trying to solve a bug with GPT 5.6 Sol xhigh.
Solved the same bug using GLM 5.3 max in one shot using Opencode 2 beta.
I'm truly shocked.
What I am realizing every single day is that you cannot rely on just one model.
It cannot be just Anthropic or Codex, it has to be Deepseek, Kimi and GLM as well.
