A FlyDubai flight carrying 174 people plunged nearly 14,000 feet in just 30 seconds after an alleged attack inside the cockpit. Seriously injured and bleeding, Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar made one decision that may have saved everyone on board — he opened the cockpit door. From Mumbai to the cockpit of FlyDubai, Machchhar’s journey and extraordinary courage have now drawn praise from leaders across the world. This is the story of the pilot who fought for 174 lives — and their tomorrows.
