## Caption

A dentist who helped save a pilot stabbed by a 'religious extremist' as he seemingly attempted a 9/11-style terror attack has shared how the attacker begged him to take his life. Wednesday's Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv erupted into bloodshed at 34,000ft after a flight captain was knifed by his co-pilot as he fought to protect the jet's controls – as well as the lives of 174 passengers on board. The plane's brave occupants managed to wrestle the attacker to the floor and tie him up, as others jumped to regain control of the plummeting jet while attending to the severely wounded Indian captain Smit Machchhar. In videos taken by passengers, the assailant, who is claimed to be an Omani religious extremist, was seen lying unconscious on the floor beside Mr Machchhar. New footage has since emerged of the bloodied knifeman sat on the floor of the plane, which landed safely in Saudi Arabia, as his head is bowed and hands are tied - while Mr Machchhar is stretchered out. One of the heroic passengers on board was Georgian Jewish dentist Shota Musaev. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail after returning to Israel, the 47-year-old recounted how he rushed to the aid of the dying Mr Machchhar – as the attacker pleaded with him to end his life.
