Two hours before a fatal crash killed 241 people, a passenger revealed chilling footage of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s poor condition. The aircraft, which had flown from Delhi to Ahmedabad earlier that day, reportedly had no air conditioning and defective TV screens.
X user Akash Vasta claimed he had been aboard the same aircraft just before the deadly flight. “I was in the same damn flight 2 hours before it took off from AMD,” he posted, sharing a video now circulating widely online.
In the footage, Vasta highlights the inoperative air conditioning, malfunctioning TV screens, broken call buttons, and lights. “Nothing is working. Nothing!” he says, visibly frustrated, as he questions the airline’s service standards. He also criticized Air India, calling it “one of the worst airlines in the world.”
While it remains unclear if the technical issues contributed to the crash, viewers of the video have raised serious concerns about the airline’s safety protocols.
The sole survivor, British citizen Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, seated in 11A, claims he escaped the plane moments before it exploded. His dramatic account adds to the mystery surrounding the incident.
Another video captured just seconds before the crash shows a mysterious object flying from the plane. Some speculate it may have been an emergency door—possibly near where Ramesh was sitting.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, with authorities working to determine if any mechanical failures played a role in the disaster.
