The death toll in the Air India flight AI17, which crashed in Ahmedabad, has risen to 250. The development comes after authorities said that four medical students of the BJ Medical College and their relatives have died in the Ahmedabad plane crash so far. Amid this, YouTuber and former commercial pilot Gaurav Taneja shared his views on the plane crash in Ahmedabad. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Gaurav Taneja, who goes by the online moniker Flying Beast, said that a catastrophic technical failure could have caused the Air India flight AI171 to crash. "Looks like a Dual Engine Failure after Take Off. Nothing short of a complete power loss can force a modern aircraft into that kind of sink rate, right after take off," he said. In another post, Taneja shared his thoughts about the likelihood of such a failure. Responding to a user's question, he said, "Extremely extremely extremely rare… a pilot cannot do anything, if he loses both engines after take off at 600 feet with building in front." In another post, which was shared three years ago, Gaurav Taneja highlighted Captain Manish Uppal's suspension from AirAsia India in 2020. Many questioned the decision to appoint Captain Manish Uppal as head of Air India's Flight Operations. Uppal was suspended by the aviation authorities during his time at AirAsia India for safety lapses. "Today, after the merger of Air Asia, Vistara and Air India. Guess who is the top boss of flight operations at Air India. Capt. Manish Uppal," Taneja's post read. Ahmedabad Plane Crash: Death Toll Rises to 250 As 4 BJ Medical Students, Relatives Confirmed Dead in Air India AI171 Tragedy.
