economictimes.indiatimes.com ·3h ago

The world is honoring Flydubai pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for averting a potential 9/11-like disaster. Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the Indian pilot's extraordinary bravery and presence of mind during the recent incident. Modi, along with other leaders, expressed their admiration for Machchhar, who saved hundreds of lives by unlocking the cockpit door despite being stabbed by the alleged attacker.

The Indian Mission in Saudi Arabia is closely monitoring the pilot's health, and his former employer, SpiceJet, also praised his commitment to saving lives.
