A passenger traveling from Delhi to Ahmedabad on an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner unknowingly captured what may be among the last meas of the aircraft before its fatal flight. His photos and meas, taken just before takeoff, are now being described as crucial evidence.
The Passenger’s Meas
The traveler, identified as Akash, documented conditions inside the plane as passengers prepared for departure. In his meas, he expressed frustration over multiple systems not working on board. According to his meas:
- The air conditioning was not functioning, leaving the cabin sweltering in Delhi’s 40+ degree heat.
- Entertainment screens were down, with no access to music or TV.
- Overhead lights and the call button for cabin crew were also unresponsive.
“It’s so hot. Nothing is working—not even the AC, not the remote, not the lights. This is why Air India has such a reputation,” he can be heard saying, visibly sweating during the meas.
What the Photos Revealed
Along with the meas, Akash shared photographs of the aircraft taken while boarding at Delhi airport. The images show luggage being loaded and passengers entering the aircraft. Hours later, after reaching Ahmedabad, Akash and his family disembarked. Tragically, many passengers remained onboard for the next leg of the journey toward London Gatwick. Those passengers never made it to their destination.
Why This Matters
The photos and meas now serve as rare first-hand documentation of the aircraft’s final hours before disaster struck. Aviation experts say such material provides valuable insight into the state of the aircraft and passenger experience prior to departure.
Key Details at a Glance:
- Aircraft: Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner
- Route: Delhi → Ahmedabad (stopover) → London Gatwick
- Passenger testimony: AC, lights, entertainment, and call buttons not working
- Evidence: Photos and meas taken just before the crash flight
While investigations continue, the material shared by Akash has quickly gained attention online, sparking questions about maintenance, safety checks, and the overall condition of the aircraft before it resumed its journey.
For now, the haunting meas stand as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in aviation safety—and how even ordinary passenger complaints can take on chilling significance in hindsight.
