Thousand Salutes to Brave Indian Pilot Captain Smit Machchhar who fought off his co-pilot during a violent mid-air cockpit attack and saved the lives of roughly 180 passengers, mostly Israeli citizens, on a FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The plan was to repeat 9/11 kind of incident by radicalising a Pilot’s mind so that he crashes the plane and kills himself too.

The incident occured on 30th September 2026 when a FlyDubai flight FZ 1073 from Dubai was scheduled to land in Tel Aviv (Israel) when the Omani Co-Pilot suddenly stabbed his senior Pilot with knife to take control of Plane to crash it to kill himself and all passengers and crew members.

The name of the copilot has not been revealed by any authority but he is an Omani Muslim. Even in severely wounded condition the Indian Pilot Captain Smit Machchhar with the help of few Brave Israeli passangers who rushed to the cockpit and helped Captain Machchhar, took control over the plane and thwarted the 9/11 like incident. Finally the plane was diverted to Tabuk airport in Northern Saudi Arabia and landed safely there under emergency condition saving all the lives. Flight data showed that the plane dropped 17,400 feet in just two minutes, which clearly shows that the plan was to crash the plane. The investigation is going on and more revelations will come out.

There is a difference between an ordinary person and a person who studies a specific religious book. No level of education will help you from hating people of other cult if you study a specific religious book. The problem here is not your situation, your education level, your economic situation, your living place etc. but the kind of religious book you study and follow. If you study and follow a specific religious book then you are damn sure to hate people of other cult, the intensity of your hate maybe high or low. In the above case the culprit is an educated pilot and economically in a good situation. Then what caused him to take such action, which is both heinous and anti human? The answer is obvious. The similar kind of incident we saw last year in Delhi, when a Muslim Doctor of good reputation and earning a handsome salary exploded himself in a crowded area of Delhi killing 13 innocent lives while he was driving his car. Here also what caused an educated Doctor to take such step. The answer is obvious. What causes a brilliant, educated mind from the same society and same situation to get radicalised? Again the answer is obvious.
