Captain Smit Machchhar, an Indian-origin pilot flying for FlyDubai, was stabbed in the cockpit of flight FZ1073 on Wednesday morning while en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv. His Omani co-pilot attacked him with a knife in an attempt to seize control of the aircraft. Despite his injuries, Machchhar fought back. Israeli passengers and additional crew members intervened, subdued the attacker, and helped bring the plane under control. The aircraft made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. All approximately 180 people on board survived. A major disaster was averted because one captain refused to yield.
Machchhar is a Direct Entry Captain with FlyDubai who joined the airline in June 2022. Before that he spent nearly eleven years with the Indian carrier SpiceJet, rising to the role of Line Training Captain. He has logged approximately 9,750 flying hours, the great majority on Boeing 737 variants including the 737-800 and 737 MAX 8/9. More than 6,400 of those hours were as Pilot in Command. He is of Gujarati origin and holds a business administration degree. His professional background includes pilot mentoring and safety compliance.

Wall Street is on pace for a far stronger year than anticipated, with profits reaching $45.9 billion in the first half of 2026, up 51.3% from the same period last year, according to a report released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. First-half profits have already surpassed New York City’s $45.3 billion forecast for the entire year, and if the pace of growth continues, profits could exceed $90 billion in 2026. DiNapoli also noted that industry jobs reached a record high in 2026 and expects the 2026 bonus pool to increase, compared with the City’s projection of a 20% decline.
“Wall Street is having an exceptionally strong year, fueled by a boom in artificial intelligence spending, increased merger and acquisition activity, and elevated trading volumes amid market volatility,” DiNapoli said. “Despite geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, the industry has remained resilient. Barring a recession or major market disruption, strong profits should continue to provide an important boost to state and city revenue.”
DiNapoli’s report uses a traditional measure of the securities industry’s performance by looking at the pretax profits of the broker/dealer operations of New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) member firms. There are 168 NYSE member firms, down from more than 200 in 2007 before the global financial crisis.
Profits
First-half 2026 profits increased 51.3% year-over-year to $45.9 billion, up from $30.4 billion in the first half of 2025. Trading revenues grew 1.8% to $40.3 billion. Increased trading activity amid shifting market conditions, enthusiasm around artificial intelligence and increased merger and acquisition activity helped drive the strong performance. While the city projects a 30% decline in profits in 2026 to $45.3 billion, results in the first half have already exceeded that full-year forecast.

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from the Indiana Fever’s victory over the Chicago Sky after a courtside confrontation. Freedom was wearing a shirt that read “WOMAN noun. adult human female.” Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud approached him during a timeout, yelling and pointing. Freedom stood with his arms outstretched before security and officials removed him from the arena.
Freedom later stated that he was kicked out for supporting women and protecting women’s sports. He has already declared himself eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft specifically to highlight that the league’s rules do not clearly define the word “woman.” The incident captures the central contradiction now running through women’s athletics: stating a basic biological fact is treated as a provocation, while the erasure of sex-based categories is treated as progress.
The Shirt & The Reaction
The message on Freedom’s shirt is a dictionary definition. It is not a slur. It is not a call for violence. It is the ordinary meaning of the word that has existed for centuries. Yet in the current climate of professional women’s basketball, that definition is radioactive. Natasha Cloud’s decision to confront Freedom courtside turned a silent statement into a public spectacle. Security then removed the man wearing the shirt rather than the player who initiated the confrontation.
Freedom’s response was consistent with his record. He has spoken repeatedly about the importance of protecting female athletes from the physical advantages that male…
