'I just wanted to see a plane...': Teen who accidentally filmed Ahmedabad crash struggles with trauma
What began as an innocent wish to see an aeroplane up close has left 17-year-old Aryan Asari haunted by one of the most horrifying tragedies in Indian aviation history. The Class 12 student had no idea that the short video he took out of curiosity would capture the final moments of Air India flight AI-171 , and change his life forever. Aryan had just reached his father's rented house in Ahmedabad's Meghaninagar around 12:30 pm on June 12. His father, a retired Army jawan now working as a metro security guard, had moved there recently. Aryan, who had come from Shamlaji in Aravalli to buy textbooks, was told planes often flew low over the neighbourhood. So, he went to the terrace, eager to catch a glimpse. 'I had never seen a plane so close before,' he told reporters in a shaky voice. 'I took out my phone and started recording, just to show my friends. At first, everything seemed normal. Then… it just tilted and crashed. Right in front of me. And then flames… black smoke… screaming…' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain Knee pain | search ads Find Now Undo Aryan stood frozen. What he had recorded wasn't just a plane, it was 241 lives, including several on the ground, vanishing in a burst of fire. The plane had crashed into the campus of BJ medical college, barely moments after takeoff. He couldn't move. 'I didn't know what to do. I couldn't believe what I had seen. I wanted to stop watching, but I couldn't look away. That moment… it keeps replaying in my head.' Live Events The video he recorded was first sent to his father, but within minutes, it was everywhere. News channels, social media, WhatsApp forwards, his footage had gone viral. Aryan became an accidental witness to a national tragedy. The house owner, Kailashba, said Aryan had come to Ahmedabad for the first time. 'Who could have thought a schoolboy would witness such horror on his first day in the city? He was pale. He couldn't eat or speak for hours. He just sat there, shaking.' Still traumatised, Aryan gave a statement to the Ahmedabad Crime Branch on Saturday. But the nightmares wouldn't stop. He begged his father to let him return home. He is now back in his village, hoping to leave the horror behind and focus on his Class 12 studies. But the images, the burning aircraft, the chaos, the helpless screams, continue to haunt him. 'I just wanted to see a plane,' Aryan whispered before leaving. 'Not watch one fall from the sky.' Inputs from PTI

The chosen few: When a twist of timing meant life over death
1 2 Patna: Justifying the old Biblical saying "No one can harm you, if God protects you," 40-year-old British national Vishwash Kumar Ramesh miraculously emerged unscathed from the recent AI 171 air crash in Ahmedabad, which claimed the lives of at least 274 people, including boarders of B J Medical College hostel. While the world mourned, Ramesh walked out alive, a living enigma in the face of catastrophe. His survival adds to the long and curious list of lone survivors – men, women and children – whose lives seemed to be cradled by fate in moments when death loomed largest. At 8am on May 8, 1902, Mt Pelée in the French colony of Martinique roared to life, unleashing a firestorm that obliterated the thriving town of Saint-Pierre and its 30,000 residents in under a minute. The sole survivor? Ludger Sylbaris, a convicted murderer locked in a tiny, poorly ventilated dungeon. Buried alive, he was found four days later, his groans echoing beneath the rubble. Burned but breathing, Sylbaris was pardoned and later hailed as "the man who lived through doomsday". Then there was Tsutomu Yamaguchi, the only person officially recognised by Japan to have survived both atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo On Aug 6, 1945, he was in Hiroshima when the bomb fell. The next day, wounded but determined, he returned to his hometown of Nagasaki, only to experience another nuclear inferno. As he described the first blast to a sceptical boss, the second bomb exploded. Yet Yamaguchi lived to share his harrowing tale. India, too, holds such haunting yet inspiring memories. During the devastating Bhuj earthquake of Jan 26, 2001, BSF personnel pulled an eight-month-old baby, Murtaza Ali, alive from the rubble, 81 hours after the tremors. His forehead bore just a few scratches. His parents had perished, but fate had a different plan for him. And then, there is Kusum Kumari, a 32-year-old woman from Bihar's Khagaria district. On Aug 19, 2013, she arrived at Dhamara Ghat with neighbours to visit the Goddess Katyayini temple. Her toddler son was asleep, so she delayed alighting from the train. Just minutes later, a speeding express train ploughed through the crowd on the opposite track, killing dozens. "It was only a matter of a few minutes. While the express train crossed the other track, I could hear people wailing and crying. Emerging out of the train I saw only dead bodies strewn around," Kusum said. Her brief pause – instinctive, maternal and ordinary – had saved her life. In every age and corner of the world, there are those who walk away from disaster untouched – proof, perhaps, that life sometimes bends its own rules.
