Captain Smit Machchhar's Past Interview on Crew Training Resurfaces After Saving 180 Lives

Captain Smit Machchhar's courageous move saved 180 passengers on Flydubai FZ1073. The Dubai-Tel Aviv flight took off, and soon after that, the co-pilot attempted to hijack the plane. The co-pilot stabbed the captain, Smit Machchhar, and even when he was bleeding severely from the stabbing, he opened the cockpit door, thereby leading passengers, crew members, and off-duty pilots to force their way into the cockpit and subdue the co-pilot, thereby taking control of the horrific situation.

Smit Machchhar revealed how the crew can save a life just a year back, and his words turned true

Smit Machchhar's heroic actions have been praised, and a clip from an interview with the captain last year shows him talking about how the crew can be trained to save lives. In the video, which is from Smit's interview with Zalak Mehta last year, the captain mentioned that when there's an emergency situation mid-air, it would be lucky to have a doctor on board, but if not, the crew is trained enough to save lives. What Smit said a year back turned out to be true.
