Therefore, it could have been very difficult for pilots on board to deal with and’recover from’ because of how quickly the jet would have crashed, Steve stated.

According to him, the 787’s composite wings would typically bend when lift forces propelled it into the air during takeoff.

But since the Air India aircraft didn’t appear to be bending, there has been conjecture that the flaps may have been inadvertently retracted, which is what caused the plane to cease flying, according to Steve.

The plane may not have taken off correctly from the Indian runway due to a number of “clear issues,” according to retired British Airways pilot Alastair Rosenschein.

Its [landing] gear is obviously down, which is incorrect; it ought to have been up. After reviewing the film, he told Sky News, “And from the video… It’s not immensely clear… but it does look like the aircraft didn’t have its take-off flap setting.”

Like Captain Steve, Rosenschein said that the plane flap setting didn’t “look right” and that the destruction appeared to be caused by a “aerodynamic issue.”

Recently, Ramesh, who was seated in seat 11a on the aircraft, recalled how the jet went down and described how he was able to escape the wreckage.

“There was a loud noise thirty seconds after takeoff and then the plane crashed,” the accident survivor stated from his hospital bed in Asarwa, Ahmedabad. Everything happened so fast.

“When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital.”

Ramesh also told Indian state media DD News that he managed to unbuckle himself from his seat after the plane went down, using his leg to push through the debris and eventually crawl out.
