From the bed of Abu Dabi hospital where he continues his recovery after being stabbed by his co-pilot on Flydubai flight, Smit Machchhar, the Indian commander of the aircraft covering the Dubai route - Tel Aviv, gave a unique look at the attack last Wednesday which, thanks to his intervention, did not end in catastrophe.
