FACT CHECK: Does This Video Show a Passenger On-Board Air India Flight 171 Live Streaming Final Moments Before Crash?
A video has gone viral that claims to show passengers on board an Air India flight while one passenger livestreams the final moments on Facebook Live. The video claims to show the inside of Air India Flight i71 moments before the accident, as the plane crashed minutes after taking off from India's Ahmedabad airport. However, the video is fake and not of the aircraft that crashed on Thursday. The video clip is in fact recorded on board a small aircraft that crashed in Nepal after leaving its capital Kathmandu in January 2023. The Air India flight that crashed in Ahmedabad was going to London and had 242 passengers and crew. Different Video of Plane Crash The viral claim appeared in a post on X and since then many have been left confused. However, the video was originally shot from the passenger's phone which crashed in Nepal. The video shows a Yeti Airlines flight descending toward the Pokhara airport when it suddenly goes down and bursts into flames. The video also appears to capture the cries of the distraught passengers before the plane catches fire, killing them. The video, which was allegedly captured by an Indian man by the name of Sonu Jaiswal, appears to show passengers grinning as the jet passes over buildings. The Yeti Airlines logo can be seen over Jaiswal's shoulder, and there is also an advertisement for Nepalese insurance on the tray of the aircraft. Suddenly there is an explosion, and the screen goes topsy-turvy. The final few seconds show a horrifying fire outside the window, and cries of distraught passengers can be heard. The phone kept on recording even as the plane was engulfed in flames. Air India Aircraft Was a Dreamliner The plane that crashed in Nepal was a small aircraft, while the Air India jet was a 787 Boeing Dreamliner. The plane was carrying 169 Indians, 53 British nationals, 7 Portuguese, and one Canadian passenger. However, the extent of destruction visible in early photos suggests that there are likely to be heavy casualties. Indian government confirmed that 133 people have so far been killed. However, it is feared that all 242 including the crew members died in the crash. In a short statement posted on X, Air India said: "Flight AI171, operating Ahmedabad-London Gatwick, was involved in an incident today, 12 June 2025. "At this moment, we are ascertaining the details and will share further updates at the earliest." Flight tracking platform FlightRadar24 reported that the aircraft's transponder signal dropped just moments after takeoff. "We received the last signal from the aircraft at 08:08:51 UTC, just seconds after take off," it said.

The Department of Conservation (DOC) has approved filming on Malte Brun Pass near the Tasman Glacier and near the Hochstetter Icefall on the eastern side of Aoraki/Mount Cook, which will 'double' as Everest base camp and the famous Hillary Step on the world's highest peak. 'These sites have been used for filming Everest-related documentaries and films before,' says DOC Ranger Ray Bellringer. 'All filming activities are subject to strict environmental conditions to ensure the protection of the natural landscape. DOC staff will be onsite daily to monitor compliance. This is an incredibly special place and it's our role to protect it,' he says. Bellringer also noted the long-standing relationship between New Zealand and Nepal through the Himalayan Trust, and the involvement of Nepalese students in conservation and education programs, including through Lincoln University's Parks and Recreation degree. Since 1953 around 70 Nepalese including many from the Sherpa community have come to Lincoln for study in nature-based tourism and community conservation. 'Sir Edmund Hillary dedicated much of his life after 1953 to supporting Nepalese communities,' Bellringer added. 'It is fitting that this project recognises the life and contributions of Tenzing Norgay, and we are proud to provide a setting that supports this storytelling. It's an iconic setting for an incredible story.' Filming in New Zealand is scheduled to begin next month. The production, which has already completed scenes in Kathmandu, Nepal, will feature Tom Hiddleston as Sir Edmund Hillary, Genden Phuntsok as Tenzing Norgay, and Willem Dafoe as English expedition leader John Hunt. The production is expected to bring a significant economic boost to the local area with a large production crew and cast staying in the village and surrounding area. Set construction and logistical preparations are currently underway. DOC staff will continue to work closely with the production team to ensure minimal environmental impact. Ray Bellringer says he happy Tenzing Norgay's story is getting recognition. 'We're pleased to support this movie project and help showcase it to the world. For Aoraki and the staff here to play a small part in helping to make that happen is special,' he says.
