The incredible presence of mind in a crisis of the Indian pilot Machchar, stabbed & bleeding, was truly heroic.
He not only single-handedly fought off the other pilot who had a knife, he also send hijack alarms out, & managed to open the cockpit door to get help, all in the critical seconds to minutes while the plane was going through a vertiginous nosedive!!!
