    Holy shit. Could you imagine surviving that?

    A loud noise like an explosion? Or did the controls break?

    I couldn't imagine. And he just got up and walked out of the whatever of the plane was left.

    He didn't specify. Just said there was a loud noise and then they crashed.

    In the video it doesn't appear the plane explodes until they hit, but it's hard to see. Could have been an explosion. Looked like the engines were already out as they glided.

    The investigation into the Air India crash is focusing on the engines, flaps, and why the landing gear came back down after takeoff. They are also looking into the possibility of a terrorist element.

    The flaps appear to have been in the wrong position on takeoff according to the video.
