Falando na sexta-feira de uma cama de hospital em Abu Dhabi via chamada de vídeo com o Primeiro-Ministro indiano Narendra Modi, Machchhar disse que sabia que a aeronave estava caindo enquanto ele se deitava sangrando no chão.

Ele acrescentou: “Eu estava sendo atingido mesmo então, mas eu apenas abri a porta e todos entraram.”.

Machchhar, who has 17 years of aviation experience, including 11 as a captain, said that experience helped him grasp what was happening even while wounded.

He told Modi he had recited a Hindu devotional prayer during the ordeal.

Modi praised Machchhar’s bravery, saying his presence of mind had saved lives and the reputation of Indian pilots.

Machchhar said he allowed passengers and crew to overpower the co-pilot and let a second pair of Flydubai pilots take control and land the plane in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.

O voo da Flydubai transportava 174 pessoas quando, por um breve momento, mergulhou em torno de 17. 000 pés (5. 180 metros) antes de ser trazido de volta ao controle.

UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash has called the incident a “terrorist act”, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the co-pilot had undergone “Islamist radical indoctrination” and appeared “suicidal”.

US President Donald Trump has warned that Iran would be “hit very hard” if found to be linked to the attack.

The United Arab Emirates has said it will launch an investigation into the incident.
