Ahmedabad Plane Crash: An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed on June 12 in Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff, killing 241 people on board along with several others on the ground. Shockingly, just two hours before the disaster, Akash Vatsa, a passenger who travelled on the same Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner just hours before it crashed in Ahmedabad, has come forward with what he claims were unusual signs during his journey. Vatsa's observations, now viral on social media, have sparked renewed interest in the sequence of events leading to one of India’s worst aviation disasters in recent times. He has urged authorities to contact him, saying he recorded a video of the aircraft and has more details to share.

"I was in the same damn flight 2 hours before it took off from AMD. I came in this from DEL-AMD. Noticed unusual things in the place. Made a video to tweet to @airindia. I would want to give more details. Please contact me," Vatsa wrote in a post that quickly gained attention.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Akash explained that his flight from Delhi to Ahmedabad initially seemed normal. However, at cruising altitude, he noticed “the rear part of the flaps was moving up and down repeatedly.” While clarifying that he wasn’t an aviation expert, he said someone with technical knowledge might better understand the significance of what he witnessed.

“I did not witness any issues when the flight took off. I felt something was unusual with the plane's flaps outside. Experts will be able to decode this better. The ACs were not working properly when the flight was on the ground before taking off,” he added.

It is still unclear whether Vatsa’s observations are in any way connected to the crash, and a conclusive determination will only emerge after a thorough investigation by authorities.
