Arpan Bala said:

"Passengers can see the fault but engineers & inspection workers couldn't find it. They should be immediately suspended & imprisoned. How they can be so much careless?"

Sheikh Ibn Ahmed said:

"Even if a crash occurs in front of the eyes, people will still board their respective planes i guess. No point withdrawing."

Julie-anne Perera said:

"I think these two people have not realised that the smoke is from a just crashed flight!! ✈️ they probably think a building is on fire 🔥."

Saraswati Krishna Pharswan said:

"Still very chill..I would have jumped frantically..."

Paras Marlecha said:

"Possibility of crash may be trust was not upto required mark or plane might had overweight with fuel and Luggages or cabin pressure not in sequence or engine was not able to deliver enough thrust.. However we are extremely sad about this incident and hope in future we never see such incidents..💐"
