The British sole survivor of the Air India crash has revealed how the lights began flickering just before it went down and ‘people died in front of my eyes’.
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, from Leicester, has also described feeling like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was 'stuck in the air' and 'came to a standstill' rather than climbing after take off.
Aviation experts have speculated online that the flickering lights and other symptoms described by Mr Ramesh on board could be a sign of a power failure.
Air India are looking at several aspects of the crash including issues with the jet's engine thrust, its flaps, and why its landing gear remained open, a source close to the investigation has said.
The government is also looking at whether Air India was at fault, including over maintenance issues, the same insider said. The airline has also been ordered by India’s aviation regulator to do safety checks on its entire Boeing 787 fleet.
