Dentist Shota Musaev, who saved Indian pilot Smit Machchhar after he averted a 9/11-style attack attempt, recalled how he revived the pilot's pulse using his legs. "At one time, his pulse was too low, so I put his feet up, and the pulse came back," Musaev told The National. He also recalled that Machchhar's lips turned blue on the flight.
