Plane Crash Witness: Teenager's Terrifying Video Captures Tragedy
Aryan Asari, a 17-year-old from Ahmedabad, records shocking footage of the Air India plane crash, leaving him traumatized as investigators seek answers.
The moment was surreal for young Aryan Asari, just 17 years old and an avid aviation enthusiast. On a routine day while in Ahmedabad, he found himself filming video clips of planes soaring high above when disaster struck. An Air India Dreamliner 787-8 fell from the sky right before his eyes, crashing and erupting into flames shortly after takeoff, tragically claiming the lives of 241 people onboard and nearly 30 ground casualties.
Aryan's father, Maganbhai Asari, recounted how his son had always been drawn to planes; each whoosh of an aircraft prompted him to race outside in excitement. But now, that very sound fills him with dread. The horrific crash he witnessed has left him grappling with profound anxiety and fear.
In a recent interview with BBC Gujarati, Aryan detailed the heart-wrenching moment: "I saw the plane wobbling and then crashing," he shared, his voice filled with disbelief. His gripping video footage has become essential evidence, attracting media attention and interview requests from across India.
The aftermath has been overwhelming for Aryan, who has experienced a "devastating impact" from the incident. His father, having moved to Ahmedabad recently, noted that reporters have been inundating their small home with requests to interview Aryan, further exacerbating his son's trauma. "He's so frightened that he has stopped using his phone," Mr. Asari reported.
This incident was Aryan's first visit to Ahmedabad, a chance for him to accompany his sister while she took an entrance exam. Little did they know that shortly after stepping foot in the city, his life would take a shocking turn. After receiving the daily routine call to check on his children, Mr. Asari was horrified to learn from Aryan that he had witnessed the aircraft crash.
Being questioned by authorities only added to Aryan's distress; he was grilled about the harrowing event for hours, though his father clarified he was not detained. The unrelenting media storm that followed forced the family to reconsider their already strained situation. Ultimately, they sent Aryan back to their village, hoping the distance would help him heal.
Although he has returned to school, Aryan continues to struggle emotionally; everyday sounds, including phone calls, heighten his fear and anxiety. Mr. Asari is confident that time will help improve his son's mental state, though the echoes of the crash will likely confront him for a long time. "He may never look at planes the same way again," Mr. Asari noted somberly, reflecting on the unforeseeable consequences of that fateful afternoon.
