FlyDubai captain Smit Machchhar stabbed fending off co-pilot attack

Capt. Smit Machchhar, an Indian citizen, suffered stab wounds fending off his co-pilot's attack on the Sept. 30 Dubai-to-Tel Aviv FlyDubai flight with around 170 aboard. Despite serious injuries, he fought back and opened the cockpit door, allowing intervention. He was recovering in good health. Scrutiny of cockpit security and crew vetting is likely to follow.
