印度飞行员斯米特·马查尔表示，他打开了飞往以色列的迪拜航空航班的驾驶舱门，让乘客进入并阻止了飞机的快速下降。
Indian pilot Smit Machchhar has said he opened the cockpit door of the Israel-bound Flydubai plane to allow passengers to come in and halt its rapid descent.
在与印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪的视频通话中，马查尔机长说，当时他倒在地上，仍在遭受副驾驶的攻击，这时他意识到飞机正在下沉，他必须采取行动。
In a video call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Capt Machchhar said he was on the ground and still being attacked by his co-pilot when he realised the plane was sinking and he had to do something.
他说："我受伤倒在地上，但我对自己说要最后再努力一次，从里面把门打开。"他补充道："其他人进来了，也在控制局面中发挥了作用。
"I was lying on the floor injured but I told myself to go for one last push to open the door from inside," he said.
我当然在为自己的生命而战，但同时我知道我不能让其他人死去。"
"Others came in and also played a role [in controlling the situation]. I was of course fighting for my own life but at the same time I knew I was not going to let others die," he added.
马查尔在一架从迪拜飞往特拉维夫的航班上遭另一名飞行员袭击，迫使飞机改道降落沙特阿拉伯。
Machchhar was attacked by another pilot onboard a flight bound for Tel Aviv from Dubai, forcing the plane to divert to Saudi Arabia.
莫迪告诉这位机长："他的勇气、耐心和果断决策挽救了这么多人的生命"，全国都为他感到骄傲。
Modi told the captain that "his courage, patience and quick decision-making saved the lives of so many people" and the whole country was proud of him.
这位机长也被以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡誉为"真正的英雄"，最初被送往沙特阿拉伯西北部城市塔布克的一家医院。随后他被空运至阿布扎比，据报道情况稳定。
The captain, who has also been hailed as a "true hero" by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was taken initially to a hospital in Tabuk, a city in north-western Saudi Arabia.
印度驻阿联酋大使馆周四表示，马查尔"身体状况良好，恢复顺利"。
He was later airlifted to Abu Dhabi where he is reported to be in a stable condition.
大使迪帕克·米塔尔表示，他"为斯米特机长的勇敢感到自豪"，见到他"非常放心"。此突发新闻正在更新中，更多细节将很快发布。请刷新页面获取完整版本。
