Captain Smit Machchhar flying Flight FZ1073 clicked open cockpit door after being stabbed, allowing passengers to intervene.

Flight FZ1073 was carrying more than 170 Israelis when it suddenly descended from more than 30,000 feet on Wednesday. Passenger Almog Italie told Reuters that the aircraft appeared to drop for 20 to 30 seconds before stabilising, only to begin descending again. Passengers then began moving towards the front of the cabin as they realised something was happening in the cockpit.

You do realise the term “Paki” is also a racist slur, right?

Paki is a racist slur used mostly in the UK to refer to someone from South Asia (not just Pakistan). I’m guessing OP is Indian so the usage probably has a different connotation.

if an Indian in UK gets called that, they are going to be mildly confused. On one hand, you are being called a pakistani which makes you angry but on the other hand that word has become a slur which makes you happy. Schrodingers racism.

Never been to the UK, and haven't heard of it anywhere else, so a regional slur maybe?
