Gaurav Taneja, aka Flying Beast, weighs in on Ahmedabad plane crash: ‘Nothing short of a complete power loss can…’

Responding to a follower who asked about the likelihood of such a failure, Taneja emphasized the extreme rarity of the situation. “Extremely extremely extremely rare… a pilot cannot do anything, if he loses both engines after take off at 600 feet with building in front,” he replied.

He wrote in another comment, “Shocked to see a wide body aircraft just go down. Nightmare for a pilot. We have been into simulator sessions where our instructor simulates a dual engine failure and we struggle to gain control of the aircraft. BUT at the end, instructor feeezes the sim and says ‘that was just a demonstration’. Can’t even imagine if this happens in real life.”

Taneja, who spent over a decade flying commercial aircraft before transitioning to a full-time career on YouTube, is known for his aviation insights and analysis of real-world incidents. Just weeks ago, he discussed another aviation scare involving a Srinagar-bound IndiGo flight that had to navigate treacherous weather. That aircraft was denied entry into Pakistani airspace due to geopolitical tensions, forcing it to fly through challenging conditions.
