Passenger video shows ‘nothing was working’ on Air India flight before crash

There were several things not working on the flight

Akash Vatsa flew from Delhi to Ahmedabad on the same plane that was supposed to fly from Ahmedabad to London before it crashed in Meghani moments after take-off.

He claimed to have noticed 'unusual things' during his flight and proceeded to make a video to show Air India.

He went on to tag Boeing India and some news outlets. Het let the airline know to contact him for more information.

Vatsa shows several things not working on the flight, including the air conditioning, the TV screens, and the reading lights.

Vatsa claimed many customers were using the in-flight magazines to fan themselves, and then turned the camera around to show himself sweating.

He adds: “As usual, your TV screens are also not working,” per The Mirror.

He continued to say that “nothing is working, not even the light is working” and asked Air India: “Is this what you are providing?”

Based on information on the Flight Radar the flight (Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner) arrived in Ahmedabad at 11.16 am local time. Air India flight 171 (Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner) then took back off from Ahmedabad at 1.38 pm local time.

However, just moments after take-off, the plane crashed into the densely populated Meghani area of Ahmedabad, hitting a doctors’ accommodation and a student canteen.

Among the 242 people aboard the plane, there were 53 British nationals, 169 Indian nationals, seven Portuguese people, and one Canadian.

At least 241 people have died in the devastating crash, however, it is believed more casualties are to follow taking the devastation on the ground into account as well.
