A 30-second-long video showing scenes from inside an aircraft is viral on social media and is being shared as footage showing last moments before the London-bound Air India flight, AI171, crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025. The Air India flight, with 242 passengers and crew onboard<\/a>, took off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad at 1:39 pm and crashed into a residential area (Meghaninagar) of the city within minutes of takeoff.<\/p>\n

The Hindu reported<\/a> that flight AI171 from Ahmedabad to Gatwick gave a ‘Mayday’ call to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) before getting disconnected. A ‘Mayday’ call or alert is an internationally recognised SOS or distress emergency call. A Moneycontrol report<\/a> citing someone from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said that the flight “departed from Ahmadabad at 1339 IST (0809 UTC) from runway 23. It gave a ‘Mayday’ call to ATC, but thereafter, no response was given by the aircraft to the calls made by ATC. Immediately after departure from runway 23, the aircraft fell on the ground outside the airport perimeter. Heavy black smoke was seen coming from the accident site”. Several casualties are feared, but so far, there has been no official statement from Air India or the Ministry of Civil Aviation.<\/p>\n

The viral video, taken by a passenger shows scenes outside from the window seat before there is sudden chaos and screaming. X user @Honest_Cric_fan shared the video with claims that it was a Facebook Live that captured the plane crash in Ahmedabad. At the time of writing this, the post has received over 280,000 views. It was later deleted. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n
