Teen Plane Spotter Traumatized After Capturing Air India Crash on Video

Seventeen-year-old Aryan Asari, an aviation enthusiast from Ahmedabad, witnessed and recorded the tragic crash of an Air India Dreamliner 787-8 while filming planes from his terrace. The accident, which killed 241 onboard and nearly 30 people on the ground, left Aryan deeply traumatized. His footage has become vital evidence for investigators, but the psychological toll has been immense—he’s stopped using his phone and avoids planes altogether. Media attention has overwhelmed his family, with journalists crowding their home for interviews.
