The pilot being hailed as a hero after Flydubai attack

What the coverage shows

All three outlets center on Captain Smit Machchhar as the Indian pilot being hailed as a hero after a Flydubai cockpit attack, and all refer to the flight carrying around 170 people. The New York Times frames the piece as an identification explainer, while CNN explicitly says it is a “here’s what we know” roundup. The Independent alone foregrounds the headline about Modi and Trump, though its extract shifts to Israel’s account of the stabbing.
