A new eyewitness video has emerged days after the September 30 flydubai incident, showing panic and commotion onboard the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight following an attack on pilot Smit Machchhar by his co-pilot. The footage reportedly shows Machchhar injured on the plane floor, while the pilot has since shared details of the incident, including how he was repeatedly struck inside the cockpit before managing to open the cockpit door and allow others to regain control of the aircraft. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken to Machchhar and praised his courage, calling him ‘a hero of the entire world’. The UAE is investigating the September 30 flydubai incident as a ‘terrorist act’, while Al Qaeda has reportedly called for copycat attacks targeting American and Israeli airliners.
