Why It Matters

O voo FZ1073 da FlyDubai partiu com destino a Israel quando o copiloto tentou usar um machado de emergência da cabine para atacar o piloto e assumir o controle da aeronave. O piloto indiano Smit Machchhar, apesar de ferido, conseguiu trancar a porta da cabine, permitindo que tripulantes e passageiros intervissem após o avião perder 5 mil metros de altitude em 30 segundos.

Investigadores tentavam determinar como o agressor conseguiu levar uma arma a bordo sem ser detectado. Agora, sabemos. Segundo o procurador-geral dos Emirados Árabes Unidos, o ataque foi com um machado de emergência - item obrigatório de segurança que é mantido na cabine de comando de aeronaves comerciais para uso em situações de emergência, como acidentes ou incêndios.

No voo FZ1073, da empresa FlyDubai, que tinha como destino Israel, o machado virou arma nas mãos do copiloto que tentou assumir o controle do avião. Mesmo ferido, o piloto Smit Machchhar, da Índia, conseguiu destrancar a porta da cabine, permitindo que tripulantes e passageiros entrassem para conter o agressor e estabilizar a aeronave, que tinha despencado 5 mil metros em 30 segundos.

Pela primeira vez, autoridades dos Emirados Árabes classificaram o incidente como uma tentativa de ato terrorista. As investigações em curso precisam esclarecer, agora, se o copiloto, um cidadão de Omã, agiu como um lobo solitário ou se tem alguma ligação com grupos extremistas. A imprensa internacional, citando fontes, noticiou que, antes de ser contratado pela FlyDubai, o copiloto, de 29 anos, havia sido impedido de voar no seu país de origem devido a preocupações de que tivesse se radicalizado.

Na sexta-feira (2), visivelmente emocionado em uma videochamada com o primeiro-ministro da Índia, o piloto-herói disse que fez um último esforço, enquanto era atacado, porque não poderia permitir que todos a bordo morressem.

Cornell students support 'I am Jane Doe' campaign after 2024 gang rape report

Students at Cornell University in New York discussed an online campaign in solidarity with 'Jane Doe,' an anonymous woman who reported gang rape by members of the Chi Phi fraternity in 2024. Governor Kathy Hochul appointed Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor in the case, after the local prosecutor decided not to bring criminal charges. A university survey shows that 35% of female undergraduates have reported sexual harassment involving force or inability to consent since entering Cornell, an increase of 15 percentage points since 2021. Students are planning a demonstration to demand greater protection for victims.
