NYT defends 'altercation' tag for flydubai cockpit stabbing

The New York Times faced backlash for describing the flydubai Flight FZ1073 cockpit incident as an 'altercation.' Reports alleged Indian Captain Smit Machchhar was stabbed by his Omani co-pilot, who also tried to interfere with controls. NYT defended its wording, saying it only published confirmed facts, but critics called it a double standard.
