Captain Smit Machchhar, an Indian Flydubai pilot, became the centre of a dramatic mid-air crisis after he was seriously injured during an alleged cockpit attack. As the aircraft plunged thousands of feet, Machchhar reportedly opened the cockpit door, allowing passengers to enter and restrain the attacker. The flight was diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, and landed safely. Machchhar is recovering in hospital.
