“Suddenly, the lights started flickering – green and white,” he said. “The aircraft wasn’t gaining altitude and was just gliding before it suddenly slammed into a building and exploded.”
Air India crash survivor describes suspicious electrical faults
According to Vishwash, the cabin lights began to flicker moments before the aircraft failed to climb. He noted the plane felt “stuck in the air” shortly after take-off, before plummeting and colliding with a building.
His account aligns with earlier passenger reports of malfunctioning electrical systems, including faulty seat-back screens on the same aircraft the day before the crash. Aviation experts have now begun speculating that the symptoms point to a possible power failure.
Air India disaster investigation
Indian aviation authorities and Air India have not ruled out any theories, with ongoing investigations examining potential causes such as engine thrust issues, flap malfunctions, landing gear failure, bird strikes, or pilot error.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation had already ordered safety inspections across the airline’s Boeing 787 fleet prior to the incident.
A government-led probe is also exploring whether Air India’s maintenance or operational practices contributed to the crash.
Survivor’s harrowing escape
Vishwash’s seat—11A, beside an emergency exit—proved critical to his survival.
The door reportedly blew off when the aircraft struck the building, which may have allowed him to escape as flames consumed the wreckage.
“At first, I thought I was dead. Later, I realised I was still alive and saw an opening in the fuselage. I managed to unbuckle myself, used my leg to push through that opening and crawled out.”
Footage shows the British national, bloodied and in shock, being assisted by locals into an ambulance. He is seen speaking in Hindi: “I just got out of the plane, it exploded.”
Medical recovery and family tragedy
Vishwash is currently recovering in hospital and has praised the efforts of the medical team: “My treatment is going well, and the people are very supportive.”
Amid his miraculous survival, Vishwash confirmed that his brother Ajay was also on board but did not survive.
Investigators continue to examine crash footage for a mysterious piece of debris, thought to be part of the fuselage that may have shielded Vishwash during the explosion.
His extraordinary testimony remains the only first-hand account from inside the aircraft and could prove vital in solving the puzzle behind one of India’s most devastating air tragedies.
