Just look at this Axe which the Co-Pilot used to attack the Captain in the Fly Dubai incident. It’s a heavy-duty emergency axe with a sharp cutting edge, built to break through tough aircraft materials when normal access is blocked. It looks and is like a serious piece of equipment. In the wrong hands, a tool with this kind of weight and cutting edge could cause devastating injuries.

And for your information, this tool is a must to have inside an aircraft. Aviation regulations require aircraft with more than 19 passenger seats to carry emergency equipment such as a crash axe. An emergency tool designed to help save lives suddenly became part of an attack inside Fly Dubai cockpit!

The UAE Attorney-General confirmed that the co-pilot attacked Captain Smit Machchhar with the aircraft’s crash axe inside the cockpit before attempting to take control of the aircraft.

The axe is for an A320 corkpit, not the exact one which was used.
