This is a screen shot taken from the Video thats posted on the BBC Verify website, that they have verified as authentic.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c626y121rxxo I still can't see a RAT deployed. However, the rat is small, and the artifacts are plentiful. Small sensor, compressed video, compressed upload, zoom, it is in short an awful source. However, the RAT is a much better noisemaker, and the audio signature is much more obvious than it’s visual appearance in this case, and though the recording isn’t fantastic quality, there was more than enough information there to objectively conclude the RAT is out. And that is my professional, on the weekend, opinion. I want to ask a pretty frank question for all of you, and I hope it is ok, from an audio specialist non-pilot: Provided the engines spooled down. Provided the RAT is out. (There are no explosions, no bird strikes.) Isn’t software and previous electrical failures a red herring too?Would anything but a complete fuel shut off lead to this result? That still leaves everything from the Fate is the Hunter plot, to Airbus A350 center consoles and Alaska 2059 open as root causes. 2 users liked this post. |

...
As the plane went on a downward spiral, he kept filming it, unable to grasp what was about to happen...

BBC News article on the teen who took "that" video:
The teen who filmed the Air India crash video the world saw I believe there are native speakers professional pilots on Pprune who might have read or could find the original piece. Could they help to clarify Aryan's statements in English?
I saw the plane. It was going down and down. Then it wobbled (?) and crashed right in front of my eyes.
It [the aircraft] was shaking (?), moving left and right
More of this eyewitness' statements in Gujarati also might NOT have been translated into English. Maybe worth checking for more detailed information. Thanks. Last edited by Senior Pilot; 17th Jun 2025 at 20:48 . Reason: wording again |

Aryan Asari, the 17-year-old who filmed the crash from his father's rooftop, gave his original interview earlier in the week to BBC Gujarati, i.e in Gujarati language.
I believe they're native speakers professional pilots on Pprune who might have read or could find the original piece. Could they help to clarify Aryan's statements in English? More of this eyewitness' statements in Gujarati also might NOT have been translated into English. Maybe worth checking for added value. Thanks. Grand mother was the one saying it was shaking . She said her location was even closer to the airport . She also said the plane was silent compared to how others make the sound
while above the sound was there , but leaving sound was missing , You know how much Baloon (plane) makes the sound, this was weird .

India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is yet to decide whether flight data and cockpit voice recorders from the Air India flight that crashed last Thursday will be sent overseas for decoding and analysis.

That doesn\x92t make sense at all. 53% would be around 53t which is reasonable for that flight.
A full fuel load of 100t would have brought them by far over the MTOM as there is only around 8t of load left with full fuel of 100t. My guess with 242 POB and some baggage would be at least around 24t of load. Furthermore the fuel burn for tankering almost 50t for 9h would be enormous. EDIT: Sailvi767 was quicker\x85
The plane carried almost 1,25,000 litres of fuel, and due to the high temperature, there was no chance of saving anyone.
I have no idea if he actually knew how much fuel was on board, or whether he'd simply been told it was "full" and somebody had looked up the capacity (126k litres) and he then quoted that "full" number. Or whether, in fact, there was an excess of fuel. But since that seems so far the only public statement on fuel load, it shouldn't just be dismissed out of hand. |

This paragraph from the BBC article above contains wording which suggests a secondary but important angle:
Quote: "The analysis of CVR and FDR [flight data recorder] data is underway. These efforts aim to reconstruct the sequence of events leading to the accident and identify contributing factors to enhance aviation safety and prevent future occurrences," the ministry said in a statement. These 'contributing factors' will surely be what is taking time to pin down. |
