Later, when the hijackers opened fire on passengers and planted explosives, Neerja opened an emergency exit to let the passengers through, for which, she was fatally shot by the terrorists.Дr Kishore Murthy, a survivor from the ill-fated Pan Am flight recalls the incidents on that day inside the flight: Neerja Bhanot, head attendant on the flight, first hid the passports of American passengers so that they could not be distinguished from non-Americans.
