00:00I had a video on social media, that the AC was not working.
00:05When it was down, the AC didn't work.
00:07After that, the AC was running, but it was on-off and on-off.
00:12It wasn't a constant temperature.
00:14Sometimes it was cold and cold, sometimes it was warm.
00:18Being a passenger, I felt a little unusual to see the car flaps.
00:24The take-off time flaps are in the middle of the car.
00:30It was on-off.
00:31I had a flight boarded from Delhi.
00:33It was a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
00:37It crashed last night in the AI-171.
00:40When the flight took off, it was on-off.
00:45It was scheduled at 9.50 a.m.
00:4812 June 2015.
00:50Our arrival time was on-off at 11.30 a.m.
00:56Our flight based on AI-423,
00:59immediately took off from Delhi.
01:01It was at 10.00.7am.
01:03We went along at 10.00.7am.
01:04It was late at 10.00.14am.
01:08I also shared the exact timing.
01:11In this day, I was ready to do this,
01:13So, my take-off time and landing video I was ready to do.
01:16So, after that after it was captured,
01:18flight take-off was okay, there was no issue
01:21as such, when I was sitting, I didn't have any issue
01:24when I recorded the video, I saw that it was me
01:27just me, just me
01:29I want to clarify this thing
01:31being a passenger
01:33I thought that maybe something unusual
01:36I would like to see the car flaps
01:38which in the video, experts will tell
01:40that it was unusual or not
01:42whatever it is
01:44so one thing I want to clarify
01:46is that I have given my opinion
01:50I have not said that
01:52what I know, these are valid points
01:54from which plane crashed
01:56I never said that
01:58after that, take-off
02:00we got to take-off
02:0220 minutes after
02:0420-25 minutes
02:06everything was good
02:08but cruising altitude
02:10I also saw things far window
02:12so that take-off time
02:14I have to take-off time
02:16for the time
02:17I have to take-off time
02:18which is the same way
02:20so that cruise is the same way
02:22as I can see

02:54a video about the AC was not working.
02:58When it was on the ground, it was not going to be running.
03:02Some people have told this about aviation experts,
03:06which I have understood that we can be able to do this.
03:10For a better rush during the take-off, AC is closed.
03:14It was very warm, at least.
03:18I was going to press something on the window.
03:22The cruise was in rush.
03:24The take-off was almost ready for the flight.
03:26I felt like I was sitting there.
03:28The taxi was pushed back,
03:30so the flight was stopped at 10-15 minutes.
03:34After the take-off,
03:36I took the middle seat with my father.
03:40After that, the AC was on-off and on-off.
03:46It wasn't a constant temperature.
03:48It was sometimes cold and cold.
03:50It was sometimes cold.
03:52Sometimes warm.
03:54It was like cold.
03:56It was always cold.
03:58It was very warm.
04:00It was very warm.
04:02It was a normal flight.

05:01I was able to travel to Delhi.
05:03I had a very tight schedule for my time.
05:05I didn't know that plane crash is going to happen.
05:08I didn't know that plane crash is going to happen.
05:10I immediately sat in the car.
05:15It took me 5-10 minutes to exit the airport.
05:19I started my meeting with the car.
05:22I was able to go around 120 km and get traffic.
05:26People were expecting me to do the first thing.
05:30I was able to do the same thing.
05:32I thought I needed to do it.
05:34I was able to do it.
05:36I was able to do it.
05:38It might have an issue that I could have found.
05:40I had a meeting with my phone.
05:42I put my phone on the car.
05:44I put the phone on the car.
05:46I thought it will be over the meeting.
05:49I was able to do it.
05:51To be honest, I was able to do it.
05:53My meeting was in the restaurant.
05:55We have lunch.
05:57I said I came back to it.

07:23I am not sure that if I can report any issues to the air India,
07:25if I can report any issue,
07:27I can not have action.
07:29Everyone knows that,
07:31everyone knows that,
07:33air India is not sure about
07:35any issue.
07:37If you say anything,
07:39yes sir, sir, no sir,
07:41sir, sir, sir, do you not sure?
07:43If you say any passenger,
07:45what does it mean?
07:47Because everything is checked,
07:49your engineers,
07:51your captain,
07:53foreign
08:21The schedule was so tight during the landing.
08:24The schedule was so tight.
08:26We actually made the plane from the plane.
08:29We entered the bus.
08:31I was just in the arrival hall.
08:34My check-in didn't feel like the address was too late.
08:35I don't want to go there.
08:37But who do I do?
08:38I was just tweeting on that.
08:40I was just tweeting on that.
08:42Right.
08:43Aakash, I just wanted to know that
08:46I knew that when we were in flight,
08:50the window shield will be opened in take-off time so that if we see anomalies, we can report it.
08:57I have seen you in the video that you want to know about flight attendants, but there was no one coming.
09:03So you wanted to report it, but you didn't know anything.
09:07You wanted to say that it wasn't on as usual.
09:11Absolutely, so Boeing 787 Dreamliner, I want to tell you something about 787 Dreamliner.
09:16I want to tell you something about 787 Dreamliner in India.
09:20I have been flying in 787-8, Mumbai to Delhi, which I have also been in Hong Kong.
09:26I have been flying in 2019.
09:29On the other hand, I have been flying in 787-8, and I have been flying in 787-8,
09:34in 2015, Delhi to London.
09:37So what is happening in this situation?
09:40What is happening in the other aircrafts?
09:42What happens in the other aircrafts?
09:43What happens in the aircrafts?
09:44Like in the window, there are shades in the top and down.
09:45You have been saying that they are staying in take-off landing time.
09:49But in 787-8, it doesn't happen.
09:51What happens in that?
09:52Normally, it stays in take-off landing time.
09:53It stays in the captain's control of how much visibility it is.
09:57There is a button.
09:58I mean, one is light and down to the dark.
10:01So, one, two, three, four, five.
10:03First, two points left on the light.
10:05Then, the third one is staying in the middle.
10:07Not much light, not much dark.
10:09The other one is getting dark.
10:10Then, the other one is getting dark.
10:11The other one is getting dark.
10:12You are absolutely correct.
10:13You are calling in the middle of the plane that you can't get.
10:16The other thing is that you are absolutely correct.
10:22I was calling once the plane was on ground.
10:25Because when it was rolled, it was not the same thing.
10:29But when the plane was pushed back,
10:31when the plane was closed,
10:33the general pushback was pushed back.
10:36When the plane was closed,
10:38the AC started.
10:40When the plane was standing in 10-15 minutes,
10:43when the plane was closed,
10:46I told my dad about that.
10:49I think there is some technical fault in this plane.
10:52The AC didn't work.
10:53I don't know,
10:54I think there is some negative vibes.
10:58I am not feeling anything good with this.
11:02I am not feeling good with this.
11:04I am not feeling good with this.
11:05I am not feeling good with this.
11:07I am not feeling good with this.
11:10I had a schedule to build this.
11:11I was calling the cabin crew.
11:12I was watching you 287 Dreamliner and there are lights to do.
11:20At 787 Dreamliner at 887 Dreamliner,
11:22there are lights on at the РAC event.
11:23No button had no buttons.
11:24You could not be able to turn on the crew or call the crew.
11:26The remote,
11:27I was trying to do my father's back to that.
11:31I did try.
11:32The remote was not working at all.
11:33not working at all so people who are this who are after me
11:37ki in flight entertainment ke baare me koji crash karena
11:41dhena nai hai bata agar koi passenger complaint karna

12:12but safety of a passenger is a safety, right?
12:15chayye ho on ground ho, chayye ho hawa mein ho,
12:17a plane crash ho gaya, people are no more,
12:20I know this is very unfortunate, but people who have survived,
12:23unka bhi a, e, lucky survival hai,
12:26je bilkul, joh hai, hama hai, dousri life mili hai,
12:28bhagwaan ji sa and we all are very thankful to that,
12:31So, there are many difficulties in this situation.
12:33Many people have difficulties,
12:35some have a psychiatric patient,
12:37many problems are happening.
12:39If someone has something to do,
12:41something happens,
12:43then what do people do?
12:45So, I wanted to speak about this,
12:47but I was hopeless, helpless,
12:49I didn't do it.
12:51Then, the cabernet crew
12:53took a while at the taxiway,
12:55and they were also in very very rushed.
12:57So, there was nothing to do with that.
12:59So, after the take-off,
13:01I will clarify that,
13:03as I told you,
13:05the compressor was on-off,
13:07so I came from the window seat,
13:09so that I didn't feel warm.
13:11Then, after the seatbelt sign-off,
13:13after the seatbelt sign-off,
13:15the cabernet crew is prepared,
13:17for the meal to serve.
13:19So, when I took the food in 20-25 minutes,
13:21then, on-off,
13:23it was okay,
13:25so I said,
13:27after the 30-30 minutes,
13:29I made a video,
13:31so I tweeted to you.
13:33Right.
13:35And one thing,
13:37you said,
13:39that you had some foil,
13:41wire,
13:43that you had noticed,
13:45and the other thing,
13:47and I showed you,
13:49a little bit,
13:51like the aircraft built,
13:53then,
13:54a321,
13:55a321,
13:57a321,
13:59a321,
14:01a321,
14:03a321,
14:05a321,
14:07a321,
14:09So overhead cabin, usually, as you can see, you can open it like this
14:15But my seat was not normally overhead cabin, it was different from the other plane
14:23It was like this, overhead cabin was something like this
14:26It was not like this, it was like this
14:30Actually, what happens, when we open it, we can open it and open it
14:34It was like this, it was like this, it was like this
14:41And the seat was like this
14:44So what happened, when you push it up, it was like this
14:47I had a little backpack in overhead cabin
14:49I had a small backpack, we had a small backpack
14:53So we kept it in front of the seat
14:56So when I was in the seat, then my window seat
15:01It was a design that was straight, I mean, the window was straight
15:06It was not curved, like in A321, I'm telling you, it was straight
15:09So straight, the overhead, the AC vents and the light vents
15:14There was so much space, like I have told you
15:18In this space, there was a silver coil, black wire and tissue
15:21So these are very common things, because there is no charge manufacturer
15:27In this space, there are many mechanisms, many things, many things
15:31There are many wiring, many things
15:33So it was a wiring, because I said to myself, that I'm an expert
15:36And yesterday, I made a video of that, and I'll show you the evidence
15:40And it's helpful or not
15:42But if it's new to me, it's new to me
15:44But people point out to me that this is normal, this is this
15:48So I'm again saying I'm not an expert
15:50I'm just telling you that I'm telling you that this is
15:56That I've noticed that this is the first time I've noticed that this is usually
16:02But when I'm using tissue paper, I'm using tissue paper, so people say
16:06It's like a lot of things that happen to me, and I'm using tissue paper
16:10So it's a kind of thing that happens
16:12When there are some major things, we think that
16:14We think that maybe it will happen, maybe it will happen
16:18Maybe it will happen, maybe it will happen
16:20So all the things that we notice
16:22We notice, we can't record or share
16:24You can't do anything
16:26Or do anything
16:27It depends on the person to person
16:29And the situation is the same
