[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=7) I get to him— move him. I open the door, he didn't resist. I open the door, push the door.

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=13) It was a little difficult because the pilot was lying on the door.

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=16) Exactly, in the back, on the floor in the back.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=18) The attacking pilot or the hero pilot? The pilot being attacked.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=21) Ah, the Indian, the hero. The Indian, the hero.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=23) Okay. He was lying down. I went in, the terrorist was c-c-crouched on his knees like this over the instruments between the two ...

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=31) Or seats. And he tried to break the pilots' equipment. Of course, no one was in the pilots' seats.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=35) Okay. In his seat, the terrorist's. Yes.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=38) He tried to break the equipment, right? He tried to break the equipment. Like this.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=41) How much time passes between that and when you manage to move him from there?

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=44) Seconds? Seconds. Yeah? Yeah. You have no doubt at all.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Bir3oqxxaUbn/en/witness-recounts-confronting-an-attacker-in-the-cockpit?t=47) Wait, but this is important. Uh, because on the one hand you say you moved the controls, on the other hand you say the plane's braking had already stopped earlier.
