By the way, Vietnam stands at 598 hours.

And China, just 17.

@RShivshankar This genuinely daft (at best) and malicious “TV journalist” entirely missing the irony of pontificating in English would be funny if it weren’t so sad. Go re-read 1984, Mr Shivshankar. And stop enabling the govt to deflect from genuine policy issues.

In the aftermath of the AI171 crash scare, we are now seeing a quiet rebellion in India’s skies.

Pilots are grounding aircraft, calling in sick, and flagging snags that were earlier brushed off. This isn't a coincidence this is a warning.

Multiple sources in aviation confirm that cockpit crews are refusing to fly aircraft that don’t feel airworthy. And it’s not just about one airline. A pattern is emerging, across fleets, across sectors.

Unlike management and DGCA officials who sit in offices and quote safety manuals, pilots and cabin crew put their lives on the line. If they’re choosing to speak with action, refusals, delays, snags, it means something is gravely wrong.

What do they know that passengers don’t?
Why are more Dreamliners being grounded quietly?
Why are whistleblowers being silenced while regulators keep giving “all clear” signs?

This isn't about panic. This is about transparency.
Air safety is not a PR exercise.
It’s time to ask: Who will be held accountable if next time, the crew can’t pull off a safe landing?

[Anand Sankar @saybwala]

IMPORTANT: If you know next of kin of those killed or injured in the Air India AI171 crash in the aircraft or on the ground in Ahmedabad, please share this with them.

I decided to share this important information as my father was in the insurance industry and I am aware how air accident compensation claims work.

1. HIRE a lawyer who knows aviation or insurance law.

2. DO NOT sign anything the airline or anyone asks you to sign without vetting by your lawyer.

3. Passengers on the flight are covered under the Montreal Convention 1999. Your lawyer should have good knowledge of compensation under this convention.

4. People & property on the ground are covered by the airline's third party insurance policy.

Don't go by any PR announcements of compensation being made in media.

Air Accident Compensation is a brutal lawyer-led industry. There is no sympathy in their conversations. The insurance lawyers will try to save as much compensation money as possible. See past history of disputes after crashes for reference, search on Google.

If there are lawyers who can help victims, tag them in the replies so that next of kin can know.

Prashant Panjiar had flown in from Delhi to take photographs. He too declined to take her photographs. I guess we'd both have been unemployable by today's TV networks, thrusting mikes to the grieving. 6/7

[Pragya Tiwari @PragyaTiwari]

In 2024 a whistleblower, Sam Salehpour, an engineer with Boeing, alleged that the company has taken shortcuts in manufacturing the Dreamliner 787 and as the aircrafts ages the risks will become “catastrophic”.

The first person to target Vikram Misri and his daughter is Chandan Kumar Singh @TheSquind. Soon after he tweeted this, his troll army started sharing details of his daughter's insta account, linkedin details, contact details. Etc.

This is not the first time he did this. He is a repeat offender. He has doxxed several young women in the past.

[Pratik Sinha @free_thinker]

Over the next few days, the same media which was telling you that Karachi has been destroyed, will be tasked to create a narrative that Modi is the best, and any failure that is acknowledged in passing will be ascribed to one or more scapegoat. In this process, many nameless, faceless 'sources' will be quoted. If you question this narrative, you will be guilted by telling you that questioning the govt and the defence is anti-national. Keep your radar up and don't let the government bulldoze your criticality. We deserve to know how the story changed in a matter of minutes, and that the Govt is accountable to we the people of India.

[Mohammed Zubair @zoo_bear]

Foreign Secretary of India, Vikram Misri has now protected his account.
Reason: Right wing trolls were digging out his old tweets with his family and abusing them.

I’m exhausted. Being a woman journalist shouldn't mean waking up to filth, to strangers sexualizing, mocking, and degrading you for simply existing and speaking.

This isn’t “just a comment.” It’s daily humiliation. It’s fear. It’s trauma.

I’m sharing this because silence protects them.

I speak my truth. I write for peace. I stand with the vulnerable.

Every day, women like me pay a price for existing online with courage.

For believing in truth.
For seeking justice.
For not being silent.

If you're wondering what online misogyny looks like, look at what I receive for daring to speak.

This is not “trolling.” It is abuse. And it hurts.

These are few screenshots I have put together but there are many more such triggering comments and emails.

Tagging those who should see this, act on this, and support women facing such hate.

You don't like @thewire_in, that's ok. The censorship is not about The Wire. Government of India censorship orders are secret & they are not even shared to affected party to figure out why & hear their case. This goes against the principles of natural justice. Audi alteram partem
