A report in the Hindustan Times while quoting a survivor said that he had told his wide that rain was a welcome sign. But our joy was short-lived. Suddenly there were big jerks and the plane was filled with loud cries. I fell off my seat and became unconscious. When I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital, he also said.

There was chaos at the accident site. We did not realise what was happening. The flight was shaking, said Ramshad who is undergoing treatment at a hospital. Another survivor recalled that the emergency door was opened and people jumped out to safety.
