New footage has emerged from a harrowing Flydubai flight, showing dentist Dr. Shota Musayev taking charge during a critical incident. The video, first broadcast by i24NEWS, captures Musayev calling for an additional pilot to the cockpit before entering it himself to assist the injured Indian captain. The captain, Sumit Majhar, has since been transferred to Dubai for further medical treatment and is reportedly recovering well.
Meanwhile, the investigation into the flight's co-pilot, described by UAE sources as a reclusive and devout Muslim, continues.
