Despite his injuries, the Indian pilot managed to fight back and open the cockpit door, allowing passengers to rush in and overpower the attacker. Seriously wounded, Machchhar was stabilised until the aircraft made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia."},{"text":"The incident has drawn praise from diplomats including Argentina’s Ambassador to India Mariano Caucino, Sri Lankan High Commissioner Mahishini Colonne and the Israeli Embassy in India. Caucino described Machchhar as embodying India’s “sense of courage and duty” and said, “The World is proud of you.” The Israeli Embassy also thanked him for helping save Israeli passengers, while Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon called him “a true hero” and wished him a speedy recovery.
