Passenger’s chilling video ‘shows “nothing working” from air con to TV screens on doomed Air India jet hours before Gatwick-bound flight crashed in deadly fireball’

An Air India passenger has shared a video claiming to show electrical fittings, including air conditioning and TV screens, not working on the jet he was travelling on – just hours before it crashed in a deadly fireball.

Akash Vatsa, who said he was on the plane during its previous flight from Dehli to Ahmedabad, shared video on X showing what he described as ‘unusual things in the plane.’

He shared pictures of the plane showing it’s registration code – VT-ANB – which appears to match that of the crashed plane.

Flight data showed how the Boeing Dreamliner flew in from Delhi to the western city of Ahmedabad this morning.

Flight 171 departed for London Gatwick after 1pm local time, but crashed in a deadly fireball just moments after takeoff. There are believed to be no survivors and more casualties are expected on the ground.

After news of the horror crash emerged, Mr Vatsa shared videos which he said showed in-flight facilities not working during the jet’s previous journey.

‘The AC is not working at all. As usual, their TV screens are also not working, neither is the button to call the cabin crew,’ he says in the clip. ‘Nothing is working, nothing. Not even the light is working.’

He said he filmed the video to make a complaint to Air India, but instead shared it to highlight the issues with the plane after today’s crash.
