Could This Overlooked Error Be the Hidden Cause Behind the Devastating Air India Crash?
“That never happened.”
“I don’t know if he asked for it or didn’t we don’t know we don’t have a voice recorder yet but the gear never comes up,” he says, circling back to his observation.

“It could be that the wing was reconfigured,” Captain Steve says.
“In other words, [the wing] went from flaps out for takeoff to flaps being retracted.”
According to the YouTuber, this could have happened when either Captain Sumeet Sabharwal or First Officer Clive Kunder in the cockpit called for the wheels to be retracted, the other mistakenly pulled the wrong lever.
The mistake resulted in the aircraft losing speed and lift too quickly for them to correct the error. And the result was fatal.
His theory does not account for the loud noise heard by the only survivor
As noted by viewers, Captain Steve’s theory does not factor in the “loud bang” recounted by the catastrophe’s only survivor, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40.
The British national, seated right in front of economy class for what he expected to be a long haul home, claimed he saw people dying around him.

When he opened his eyes and realized he had survived, he limped out of the wreck, apparently escaping the explosion and the incandescent plume caused by 100 tons of igniting jet fuel.
Another cryptic hint of distress in the cockpit seconds before disaster was Mayday call. But attempts by ground control to respond went unanswered.
