Newly released video footage from a FlyDubai flight depicts the on-board stabbing of Captain Smit Machchhar, who is seen unlocking the cockpit door and calling for assistance. The footage captures the moment a small group of passengers was able to intervene, pushing through the door, pulling up on the aircraft controls, and subduing the attacker using cords from a headset.

The captain, who has been publicly hailed as a hero for his actions during the incident, survived the attack. The newly surfaced video provides a clearer visual account of how passengers coordinated with the wounded pilot to neutralize the threat aboard the flight.
