00:00The engineers were doing maintenance checks of the left engine.
00:30How long were you at the airport?
00:48How long were you at the airport?
00:50From 1 to 5, 4-5 hours.
00:53They were trying to fix the issue.
00:57The pilot was trying to communicate that they were trying to fix the issue.
01:00So all these were happening and they didn't say which issue.
01:05There was some technical snag and it was expected to be done in an hour,
01:09but it was not done and after a couple of hours,
01:11they said we are not able to fix it so we are going to deplane.
01:14So that's all happened.
01:16Yes, of course. I thought so, yes.
01:19Something that happened in Ahmedabad, was that thing in back of your mind?
01:24No, no, no. These technical snags happen.
01:26This is part of the flying.
01:28I have travelled internationally many times.
01:30I have seen this in multiple airlines.
01:32These things happen.
01:33It's not like an Air India thing.
01:36It's a technical snag.
01:38When had you put your attention on the surprise?
01:41Sometime back, 2-3 weeks ago.
01:43The question regarding departure?
01:46What is that?
01:48The question regarding departure?
01:50How much are you doing?
01:51How much are you doing?
01:52How much are you doing?
01:53How much are you doing?
01:54How much are you doing?
01:55No, that was a delay.
01:56That was the chaos.
01:57So that part could have been avoided.
01:59So they haven't yet mentioned?
02:01No, no, no. They've given me tickets.
02:02Okay.
02:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:04When is your next flight?
02:057 o'clock in the evening.
02:06Today?
02:07Today, yeah.
02:08So at that time at the airport they were not making the invitation?
02:13It was not clear.
02:14Correct.
02:15The total chaos that could have been easily avoided was if we were told that this is when
02:20your next flight is going to be, take it easy and we are providing accommodation,
02:25people would have been more common.
02:27So since that was missing, we were trying to go here, go there, go there, ask a lot of
02:31people and we were not sure whether we were going to be going back today.
02:35Because we were all coming on a 10-day visit, we were trying to meet family and then missing
02:39a day, we were like, I have a function tomorrow.
02:41So there was a lot of chaos around that.
02:42The plane, the plane had to stop in, the plane had to stop in Kolkata to refuel.
02:48We ordered the plane in San Francisco and then we were supposed to take a stop in Kolkata,
02:53but it said the plane just after five hours we had to deplane.
02:57Okay, I'm fine.
02:58What was the reason?
02:59What were they telling you?
03:00They said the left engine was not working.
03:02Well, this is what happened.
03:03So first the pilot...
03:04How panicky was the position on the entire truck?
03:06It was not panicky.
03:07It was not panicky.
03:08We were eating, they gave us food, kids were running around inside.
03:12In the aircraft?
03:13Well, we thought it was just normal refueling and then the pilot said, oh, 15 minute delay,
03:1715 minute, 20 minute delay, and then it kept going for five hours.
03:20Kept on for five hours.
03:21So during the five hours, did they make any announcements in the aircraft?
03:24Yeah, yeah, they made like two announcements.
03:26Yeah, two announcements.
03:27They said they needed like 15, 20 minutes more.
03:30Left engine maintenance.
03:31Sorry?
03:32Maintenance on the left engine.
03:34What in the left engine?
03:36The engineers were doing maintenance checks of the left engine.
03:41And they announced that?
03:42They announced that?
03:43Yes.
03:44They announced that?
03:45Yeah.
03:46So did they kind of, you know, like the inside fails?
03:47No, we were already landed, so like we weren't scared of anything.
03:50Oh.
03:51No, but they were scared that, you know, what if it kind of flies?
03:54Well, we were wondering, so we already flew for 15 hours.
03:57So was something wrong in the 15 hours that they had to do maintenance after we got, like,
04:02you know, we left?
04:03And then we only had another two hours, it was two hours from Kolkata to Bombay, right?
04:08And there were a lot of people cross-connecting flights, like Ahmedabad.
04:09And there were a lot of people cross-connecting flights, like Ahmedabad.
04:10And there were a lot of people cross-connecting flights, like Ahmedabad, Indor.
04:11And there were a lot of people cross-connecting flights, like Ahmedabad.
04:12So when completely they have a plane, they have a fine plane, and no one's going to die.
04:17They are fine, quite fine.
04:18That's why no one fought actually.
04:19No one fought.
04:20No one made a flight without a contre-τάricist?
04:22In general, there were a lot of people.
04:23Because I found that we were watching their news, and I had no one with them.
04:26So the people accepted, that, I must just say, well, there was some of the tension.
04:30And another one happened Bombay at the time.
04:32And there were a lot of people, cross-connecting flights, like Ahmedabad, Indor.
04:37Like Hyderabad, Indore, Bangalore, Chennai, definitely a problem.
