"The pilot Smit Machchar, speaking with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi from a hospital in the United Arab Emirates: 'I feel immense pride. At that moment, I was fighting for my life, but I realized that if I didn't get up and act – after being seriously injured and lying on the ground – no one else would do it. I have been flying planes for 17 years and have been a captain for 11 years, and I know what is happening on the plane, even with my eyes closed. I knew that it just took one more push to open the door. Despite my injuries, I opened it, and the rest of the crew came in and did their part. I knew I couldn't let the passengers die.'" #Heroísmo #Coragem #Aviação (translated)

Lito Sousa has left us. The sadness is immense. It was years and years watching Lito's channel, learning almost daily about the history of aviation and this incredible universe of airplanes. Lito was very important; he really made a difference. Much more than the videos and his career as a mechanic. There were countless projects, him and his wife Mila, many of which are still active today with hundreds of people working. He was THE GUY. You will be missed a lot, Lito. Thank you for everything. Thank you very much. Much strength to Mila, to his son Malone, and to all family and friends. #Luto #Aviacao #ObrigadoLito (translated)

Since September 11, 2001, the cockpits of airplanes have armored doors, preventing outsiders from entering. The Israelis on the Flydubai flight were only able to enter thanks to pilot Smit Machchhar, who, despite being seriously injured by the Omani co-pilot who stabbed him, managed to unlock the armored door before passing out. The Israelis then entered, captured the terrorist, and safely landed the plane. #SegurançaAérea #Heróis #Terrorismo (translated)

O DISCURSO DO DESCONDENADO Lula foi à ONU como chefe de Estado e fez o que melhor sabe: transformar a maior tribuna diplomática do planeta em palanque de campanha do PT. Não falou pelo Brasil. Falou por si, pelo desgoverno e pela reeleição. Quis vender como “voz da nação” um discurso carregado de rancor ideológico, recado eleitoral e pose de soberania seletiva. Na tribuna internacional, o Descondenado atacou os Estados Unidos e o governo Trump sem coragem de citar o nome. Recorreu ao velho repertório de “ingerência externa”, “quintal” e “porta-aviões”, como se o Brasil fosse uma vítima inocente cercada por império. No mesmo fôlego, confessou a própria incompetência: o país precisa da cooperação americana para estancar o fluxo de armas e dinheiro que alimenta o crime organizado. Ou seja, encena independência na ONU e, na prática, estende o chapéu para Washington resolver o que o governo dele não resolve em casa. Soberania de palanque. Dependência de fato. Sobre Gaza, Lula foi além da crítica política e decretou “genocídio” como se fosse juiz do mundo. Ignorou que a acusação segue em disputa jurídica, que Israel rejeita o termo e que a própria Corte Internacional de Justiça, ao adotar medidas provisórias, deixou claro que ainda não julgava o mérito. Para o presidente, detalhe irrelevante. O que importa é o efeito no palanque e o alinhamento com a retórica que seu campo político gosta de repetir. E ainda teve o desplante de levar para Nova York a briga interna brasileira. Falou em “inimigos internos e externos”, soberania e na escolha que o eleitor fará nas urnas. Usou o palco da ONU para fazer campanha, vitimizar o governo e apontar adversários. O Descondenado não tem mandato moral para transformar suas posições pessoais, seus ressentimentos e sua cartilha partidária na “voz do povo brasileiro”. O Brasil é maior, mais plural e muito mais dividido do que o discurso de um presidente que trata o Estado como extensão do PT. Quando Lula sobe na ONU, representa constitucionalmente a República. Isso não lhe dá o direito de exportar ataque, interpretação enviesada e alinhamento ideológico como se fossem consenso nacional. Consenso ele não tem. Tem palanque, tem militância e tem a pretensão de falar em nome de um país que ele reduz ao tamanho do próprio umbigo. #Lula #ONU #PolíticaBrasileira
