Le pilote indien de flydubai Smit Machchhar a déverrouillé le cockpit, identifié l'assaillant, tout en étant blessé - rapport
Plusieurs passagers, dont le dentiste israélien Shota Musayev, ont prodigué les premiers soins à Machchhar, le maintenant en vie jusqu'à son hospitalisation en Arabie saoudite.
Évaluation
A wounded pilot's decision to unlock the cockpit and identify his attacker mid-crisis likely prevented a worse outcome aboard the flydubai flight. Quick work by passengers, including an Israeli dentist, kept him stable until landing in Saudi Arabia. The focus now shifts to what motivated the assault and how cockpit security held up.
