A passenger who reportedly flew on the doomed Air India jet just two hours before it crashed, killing more than 200 passengers and crew, posted shocking video in which he says “nothing” was working in the cabin — including lights, air conditioning and the seat-back display screens.
The eerie footage was purportedly taken inside the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on its second-to-last flight as it flew from Delhi to Ahmedabad, hours before it crashed shortly after takeoff en route to London’s Gatwick airport.
“I was in the same damn flight two hours before it took off from Ahmedabad,” social media user Akash Vatsa wrote on X.
“I came in this from Delhi to Ahmedabad. Noticed unusual things in the place,” he went on, adding that he had filmed the apparently malfunctioning aircraft so that he could share the footage with Air India later.
“The AC is not working at all. And, as usual, your TV screens are also not working, neither is this button for calling the cabin crew,” Vatsa can be heard saying in the video.
He also complained of “sweating like hell” due to a lack of AC, adding that this was why “Air India is considered one of the worst airlines in the world.”
