Air India plane crash: The boy who recorded the video of the Air India plane crash was scared

The tragic Air India plane crash in Gujarat has left the nation stunned. Amid the chaos and grief, a video of the crash captured by a student on his mobile phone has drawn widespread attention. Aryan Asari, a Class 12 student, recorded the horrific accident from his terrace, but the traumatic experience has left him in deep mental shock.

Speaking to the media after giving his statement to the police, Aryan recounted the harrowing moments:
“I had never heard the sound of a plane taking off before. This was the first time I saw an aircraft flying so close. My father had asked me to show him, so I decided to go to the terrace and record a video to share with my friends in the village. But I never imagined I would end up filming a plane crash,” he said.

Describing the incident, Aryan added, “While the plane was taking off, it suddenly started to slide, and within seconds, there was a massive explosion. My hands were shaking. That scene still plays in front of my eyes. I can’t sleep at night. No matter what anyone says now, I will never get on a plane again.”

Aryan's video has been handed over to investigating agencies, and authorities believe it could help uncover crucial details about the moments leading up to the crash. The police have collected additional information from Aryan as part of their ongoing investigation. The incident has not only raised questions about aviation safety but also highlighted the psychological toll such tragedies can have on eyewitnesses — especially young individuals.
