The horrific crash of Air India Flight AI171 in Ahmedabad took place just a building away from eyewitness Ashutosh Pande`s workplace. Pande said he was still shaken hours after the incident.
“I work in cargo supply. My workplace is in the vicinity of the plane crash. Five of us were working in the office on Thursday afternoon. Suddenly, we heard a loud noise and then saw a plane flying over the building. Then, there was a huge blast, a sonic boom, I cannot really describe how loud it was. Even before we could process anything, we saw the aircraft hit a building ahead of the office,” Pande said.
