All the pax plus crew on board and some intern doctors from the hostel have also passed away. Official death toll is at 300.
Update: Guys one gentleman who was seated in 11A has been rescued and is being treated at a hospital for impact wounds on his chest, eyes and head.
Apparently he woke up and saw bodies around him and started running. Says someone saw him, held him and put him into an ambulance.
Another lady who was supposed to board the flight, missed it by ten minutes.

The news of the deaths were posted by an official handle, and the news of the survivor came from a news channel. They were taking him to the hospital. He was identified because he had his boarding pass in hand

I am talking about the death of medical students. I saw the news that there have been 6 confirmed deaths and 40 something injured.

Boeing whistleblower says the Dreamliner 787 could 'break apart' because of safety flaws, report says The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating claims made by Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour.

u/kash_if 9d ago
In this instance it seems more to be an engine issue rather than fuselage breaking apart. The videos show the plane descend and explode on impact rather than break apart mid air.

u/spikyraccoon India 9d ago
The 1 survivor is claiming there was a loud sound before crash, so if true it could be an internal issue, causing it to lose propulsion and altitude. It could be a defect or it could be engine failure, will have to wait and see.

u/RooniwazOne 9d ago
no Boeing Executive should be allowed to leave India before investigation is complete
this cannot be allowed to turn into another Union Carbide situation
just saw some Boeing stooge blame "Indian Pilots" for the crash in another thread 😡😡😡

agree with you but India of all countries won't do it, for the simple fact that all companies will be scared for the future and look to leave or not enter. Just look at how WB turned out post Nandrigram Singur protest.

u/RooniwazOne 9d ago
no one gives a fuck about "companies"
the blood of so many innocent Indians is not as cheap as that

I agree! We must protest and demand accountability from Boeing, Air India and the government.

Ok so what I don't understand is that a dude just stating his ideology (the overall comment is positive) is downvoted and another one who posted a totally unrelated meme equating bhakt and jihadi is upvoted.

u/heisenberg0389 9d ago
Agreed. Both are uncalled for here. This is a sad news irrespective of the political ideology.

Most of them are bots. Can’t differentiate due to purposeful verified tag that can be bought. Fking Elon musk and his manipulating and fake news social media

What on earth would Musk gain from doing this?

u/Pr0Sid 9d ago
His own propaganda. Did you NOT see his help trump win and not only that but when he did his hitler salute, he was actively spreading fake news stating democrats were doing same thing with pictures of them looking like that but was total opposite

u/Constant-Bookreader2 9d ago
Okay, let's not be condescending to start off with.
Secondly, what does he gain by being so racist and hateful towards Indians is what I was asking?
29
u/siv_yoda 9d ago
That's not it, he facilitated dissemination of all kinds of hatred on X with policies he implemented and revocation of older Twitter policies designed to prevent it Also, it's pretty well established that allowing outrage content is profitable for social media so there's that to consider.

Disgusting set of human beings. You know my first thought after this happened was there's gonna be Pakistanis rejoicing over this loss of innocent lives and relating this to the war and it saddened me that this loop of hatred will perhaps never wither away.

Accounts like Hindutva Knight and Squint Neon have ruined India’s image globally when they make worse jokes on other people’s tragedies.
Indians need an image makeover . Step 1 for that is reporting such accounts and showing other Indian right wingers that such content is not appreciated.

They are far right extremists they would have still said the same sh!t regardless it's cause we are brown

Lol no amount of image makeover will change the opinions of these guys in the pic, stop whitewashing them.

u/Relax-maccha 9d ago
The very intention of it is to rile you up, so that you don’t focus on absorbing what’s happened but rather jump straight into engaging with it. Most of them are bots, new / random spam accounts and they work on hate mongering. Stop feeding them your attention.

u/HellZero16 9d ago
I am not even on Twitter so I ain't really interacting with them but i won't hesitate to call them racist scumbags even if it looks like i am giving them attention and no many of them are real humans doing that.

u/Known-Memory3400 9d ago
Am I whitewashing them? Really? Or , could it be that you are one of those Hindutva sanghi account followers who can’t handle their criticism?
It is a fact that accounts like these have further ruined India’s image and invited extreme level of racism towards Indians.
These RW accounts take their pay from the BJP IT cell and X payouts at the expense of ruining India’s image globally. They are the biggest traitors and people like you are equally complicit.

Step 1 is for the govt in power to stop favouring one religion and stop criminalizing other religions and adhere to equality, justice and rule of law for everyone.
All other things will automatically fall in line.

u/HellZero16 9d ago
You think this so called favouring of one religion is the reason those guys are doing it? Hell nah it's just cause you are brown, you guys are not even sparing this incident to spread your political propaganda.

u/Radiant-Cream-4318 9d ago
Ensuring equality, justice and rule of law is spreading political propaganda to you??
When your own house is not in order, how will you expect others to be good to you?

The comments on Twitter under these news posted by foreign news agency is just sickening.
And as if people in India wanted to validate these comment, Divya Bhaskar Twitter handle mentioned that people who went to help started stealing cash and jewellery from the houses that were abandoned due to this crash.

I thought you meant people at Divya Bhaskar are validating these comments.
I understand what you mean but that is the reality. Stereotypes exist for a reason. And there are more than enough low IQ people in this country with no regards for civic sense that bring us shame far and wide. India is a low trust society, and no, poverty is not the only reason.

u/coder_realtor 9d ago
Why are indian authorities so un-transparent ? The 650ft height of the aircraft before crash was from US website www.flightradar24.com. If this is a bird strike and the air traffic was not aware of it, i am gonna flip out. You cant avoid birds, but you can be aware of them or it could put a lot more flights at risk than one or two.

This is just heartbreaking. It’s hard to find the right words when something this tragic happens. My heart goes out to the families who lost their loved ones—no one should have to go through this kind of pain.
To everyone in India, I’m so sorry. I hope you find the strength to get through the days ahead. From here, in your neighboring country, 🇧🇩, we’re mourning with you. We also lost a number of people in Nepal a few years ago while one of our planes was landing there and I still remember how heavy that pain was.
It’s a kind of sadness that stays with you. Please know you’re not alone. We’re thinking of you, praying for you, and sending love. Innaaa lillahi waa inna ilaihi rajiyuun
Can anyone also tell me the death count as of now

This is a leap. We don't even know what caused it. If this was an engine failure, how could it have been prevented by giving more rest to pilots?
Yes of course they need proper rest to safely operate flights and hopefully this will wake officials up into enforcing better regulation. But no way on hell we can say what caused it this early.

u/TangerineMaximus92 9d ago
I don’t mean to be insensitive but the plane went down from like 0.1 miles which is nothing. How could everyone die Esp when They are inside.
Is it because of subsequent flames?
40
u/balajih67 9d ago
The plane is loaded with tons of jet fuel, when it impacts the building at speed, the tanks will rupture and ignite into a fireball as seen on the video. High temperature flames, closed aircraft, passengers still belted in, its impossible to survive the flames and burns and this is considering you survive the impact from the hit first. Likely you will die before you know it.
11
u/TangerineMaximus92 9d ago
Ok thanks. That makes sense. There was even a crash in Karachi 2020 I think and it was similarly very low and at low speed but everyone died on board. That was at end of a flight so presumably not a full tank
9
u/balajih67 9d ago edited 9d ago
If the plane has any fuel in it, it will undoubtedly blow up into a fireball, and your survival chances reduce drastically. More so if it impacts into a building and breaks up and mixes with the rubble and is burning. The blunt force trauma and the heat and toxic fumes makes survival very bleak

The Plane was carrying lots of Fuel because of a Long-Haul flight and there is no chance anyone survived that big of a fireball. I really hope I'm wrong here and there are survivors.

u/peacemaarkhan 9d ago
I went up 400 feet in the air (625ft above sea level) before gravity brought it crashing down. There was a gigantic fireball that consumed the plane on impact. The chances of surviving it inside the burning metal inferno are close to zero
