A plane headed for London from India crashed right after takeoff, crashing into a hostel. Amazingly, the one survivor of the plane crash isn't even in critical condition, he was able to walk, and will likely be released in 1-2 days.

I don't know how many of you have seen Unbreakable, but this is genuinely the real life version of it

Did they say how he survived? I saw the crash site and there’s no shot I thought anyone survived. He’s lucky as hell but will need to see a therapist asap. The trauma he will deal with is crazy.

Wow, he must of been very luckily flung out of the side of the plane onto a bed or something the moment the plane cracked open.

But horrible news of course, damn. :(

Footage of the crash, it's absolutely insane, legitimately beyond belief, that anyone survived that.

good day for him to buy a lottery ticket.

His brother was on the same plane. Among the dead. Yeah buddy is gonna have nightmares seeing those dead bodies in his dreams. Sheesh.

Didn’t laugh.

It seems like flaps or throttle problem. Possibly pilot error as well. Regardless, it's quite alarming that the airliner involved again is boeing. Rip to the unfortunate.

The lone survivor said he heard a loud bang before the plane went down. The pilot called in a mayday after takeoff. Why is pilot error assumed in this case?

He did? Oh that makes it even more alarming then. I just assumed the possibility of pilot error just by watching the video alone. It looked like a routine takeoff initially before going down right away, with no explosion visible in the footage until the crash itself.

I refrained from posting in this thread, in order to not inhibit Axe from giving his opinion about the crash.

This was the previous flight, just two hours before the crash.

I also read a comment from a flight attendant for Air India, and they said something akin to, nobody wanted to work on that airplane due to many issues, but were forced by the company.

I have wondered that perhaps there was someone as heavy as Axe and that is maybe why the plane couldn't take off and achieve proper lift.

I'm glad though that it wasn't the actual Axe that was on that flight because Axe is like a son to me, and perhaps my actual child as we await DNA results. The other Axe on this plane was not my son so I'm not worried.

I will admit that when I first saw the plane rising, and then slowly elevating back down to the ground, my immediate thought was Axe, and the whole scenario of someone as heavy as Axe being on the plane. But I purposefully did not mention it because I'm making an effort not to make fun of Axe potentially being obese.
