Indian hero pilot Smit was stabbed by co-pilot with an axe already present in cockpit

Captain Smit Machchhar, the hero Indian pilot who saved 180 lives on flydubai plane, was stabbed by his Omani co-pilot with a 'crash axe', not a knife, clarified Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The axe is a tool already present on the aircraft as part of its emergency equipment. It is used to handle in-flight fires or emergency wreckage.
