JERUSALEM, Oct 8 - RIA Novosti. Israeli dentist Shota Musaev, who saved the wounded Indian Flydubai pilot on the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight, told RIA Novosti that the flight attendants demanded that passengers untie the co-pilot, who attacked the captain of the aircraft and was neutralized.

Earlier on Thursday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog presented awards for civilian heroism to Shota Musaev and five other Israelis who acted during the incident aboard Flydubai to prevent the Sept. 30 plane crash. The Duke also noted the special role of the plane's captain, Smith Machchharu, who, at the time of the attack by the co-pilot, was able to unlock the cockpit door and thereby give a chance to save the airliner.

“It was very unusual for us, because the flight attendants asked him to untie him every time. He screamed a lot, and perhaps these screams were the result of a surge of adrenaline,” said Musaev, who helped tie up the attacker with wires from his headphones.

The agency's interlocutor expressed confidence that the investigation will establish all the facts and completely restore the picture of the incident on board.

“At some point, a situation arose that we already doubted everyone. Every time someone looked at us differently, looked back, or did something differently, it affected us,” Musaev said.

A Flydubai plane flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30 signaled an emergency and a short time later made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. It is known that there were two reserve pilots on board. The airline later confirmed that a fight broke out between the pilots during the flight. Later, information appeared in the media that one of the pilots injured the second and wanted to cause a plane crash. This information was confirmed to RIA Novosti by passengers on that flight. The alleged attacker is 29-year-old Omani national Hamam al-Hammami, who previously worked for Oman Air and was suspended from flying due to his radical views.
