00:00There have been some videos doing the rounds, and obviously we have to be cautious of what does the rounds on social media.

00:05It might not all be authentic, but someone who claims to have been a passenger on that very same aeroplane earlier in the day,

00:12flying, I believe, to or from Delhi, says a lot of things weren't working.

00:19The call buttons weren't working. The in-flight entertainment system wasn't working.

00:24There were various other things that seemed to be malfunctioning.

00:26I mean, should we read anything into that, or would you say these are completely unrelated issues?

00:33Well, those systems wouldn't affect the aircraft, the way the aircraft flies.

00:38But obviously, you raise questions then about maintenance.

00:43Now, why the flaps were not in the correct position, I suppose, you know, it's possible.

00:51There was some technical reason for that when the crew had originally selected them correctly.

00:57It's very hard to know. It's all speculation at the moment.

01:01But normally, if the flaps were not set correctly for takeoff, there would be a warning to the crew.

01:06The aircraft would say it wasn't configured correctly.

01:10If the flaps were raised too soon after takeoff, that would be extremely unusual for a crew to make that kind of mistake.

01:20If there was a technical reason for the flaps retracting uncommanded, that would be very rare.

01:27But, you know, if you're looking at the technical reasons or maintenance, I suppose the investigators will look at that.

01:35I mean, they'll look at absolutely every possible angle, I'm quite sure.

01:40You know, we're looking at actually a guy that's wrong with the officers who have been intimidated by the aircraft.

01:43But, you know, it's a good example.

01:46If there's a squinting to even if there's no place or not, I would say a guy that's wrong with the aircraft.

01:49If there's already some stuff that's wrong with the aircraft.

01:50But then, you know, especially if there's no room for the aircraft.

01:52You know, I'm still here.

01:53If there's no explosion, there's no problem.

01:54So I feel like the military aircraft, I'm just like the infantry aircraft to the aircraft.

01:57You know, I'm not to believe they're not some safety officers.

01:59Then, you know, we're going to do so.

02:00You know, there's a utility aircraft.

02:01You know, there's no safety aircraft to my aircraft.
