Reactions trail video of Air India passengers

Legit.ng has compiled some reactions to the emerging footage below:

Mac Blake said:

"In my view flight was over loaded ! Take off weight was not correctly calculated."

Huda Alsaedi said:

"I’d say there is a good reason they ask you to put your phones on flight mode which obviously these passengers didn’t comply and kept sending videos to family members. I wonder if that has anything to do with crashing?"

Lisa Maria Bunce said:

"It crashed moments after take off, whilst the plane was still climbing, so why is everyone stood up, they would have still been strapped in their seats?"

Rio Townsend said:

"I want to jump into the video and tell them all to get off 😭😭😭😭."

Robert Barron said:

"Would everyone be out of their seats and opening bins just seconds after takeoff? When I was an fa a full ten minutes had to go by before we turned off the seat belt sign and unlocked the lavs."

Sriiraadha Banerjee Dhamankarr Taniyaa said:

"But isn't it mandatory to switch off all electronic devices when flight doing take off or bad weather or landing??"

Marlon Hamitera said:

"Now if the plane disintegrated/exploded upon impact, how could all this footage survived on smartphones????? Surely passengers devices also went up in flames, isn't it??? Or does one get fireproof smartphones lately? Just asking🤪."

Video shows prophet's warning months before crash

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a video of a prophet's warning 198 days before the Air India crash had surfaced online.

On his verified Facebook handle, the Christian preacher who gave the prophecy, Prophet Jerome Fernando, posted the video, detailing the two different times he issued the warnings about a mid-air crash.

According to the explanation in the clip, Prophet Jerome first gave a warning back in November 26, 2024, that the Indian national carrier would have a mid-air crash during one of his international visitors' programmes.
