The teenager who portrayed the video of Ahmedabad, who watched the world

Every time Arian Asari hears the sound of a plane, he was leaving the house to search for it.

The discovery of aircraft was something of his hobby, his father, MagbaniI Asari said. Arian loved the sound of the loud engine filling the air and then growing with a louder voice while the plane was wandering over it, leaving behind the strands of the coup of in the sky.

But now, thinking about it makes it sick.

Last Thursday, the 17-year-old was on the balcony of Mr. Asari’s house in Ahmed Abad, where he made videos of aircraft, when Air India Dreamliner 787-8 crashed directly in front of his eyes and exploded, killing 241 on board. About 30 people were killed on the ground.

The moment was taken by Arian on his phone.

“I saw the plane. It was declining and down. Then I was crushed and crashed in front of my eyes directly,” he told BBC Gujarati in an interview earlier this week.

The video, which has now become a decisive idea for the investigators trying to find the cause of the accident, sent ripples via the media and Aryan – a high school student – has been sent in one of the worst aviation disasters in the country’s history.

Asari told the BBC: “We were overwhelmed by the interview requests. Journalists were wandering around my house day and night asking to talk to him,” Asari told the BBC.

The accident – and what he followed since then – had a “devastating effect” on Arian, who was shocking to what he saw. Asari said: “My son is so afraid that he stopped using his phone.”

The retired army soldier is now working with the city’s metro service, and Mr. Asari resides for a period of three years in a neighborhood close to the airport. He recently moved to a small room located on the balcony of a three -storey building, with a clear view of the city horizon.

His wife and two children – Arian and his older sister – live in their grandparents near the border between the Gjarat and Rajastan countries.

Asari said: “This was the first time for Arian in Ahmed Abad. In fact, this was the first time in his life that he left the village.”

“Whenever I call, I will ask Arian if I can discover planes from our balcony and tell him that you can see hundreds of them wandering in the sky.”

He explained that Arian was enthusiastic about the aircraft and loved to look at them as they fly in the sky over his village. It was the idea that he could closely see them from his father’s new balcony.

She presented an opportunity last week when the daughter of Mr. Asari, who wanted to become a police officer, traveled to Ahmed Abad to write the admission exam.

Arian decided to accompany her. “He told me that he wanted to buy new books and clothes,” Asari said.

The siblings arrived at their father’s home in the back on Thursday, about an hour and a half before the accident.

The family had lunch together, after which Mr. Asari left to work, and left children at home.

Arian went out on the terrace and started making videos of the house to show him to his friends. That is when he discovered Air India and began to shoot it, he told BBC Gujarati.

Arians soon realized that something was not quite true about the plane: “He was shaking, moving left and right,” he said.

When the plane went in a downward cycle, he continued to photograph it, unable to understand what was about to happen.

But when the thick smoke filled the air and set off from the buildings, he finally realized what he just witnessed.

Send the video to his father and summoned him.

Asari said: “I seemed very afraid -” I saw him as a door, and I saw that colliding, “he said to me and he continued to ask me about what would happen to him. “But he was beside himself in terror.”

Mr. Asari also asked his son not to share the video more. However, very afraid and shocking, Arian sent to a few of his friends. “The next thing we knew, the clip was everywhere.”

The next few days were a nightmare for the family.

The neighbors, journalists and people were immersed at night and night cameras for Mr. Asari, and they are asking to speak to Arian. “We cannot do anything to prevent them,” he said.

The family also received a visit from the police, who took Arian to the station and recorded his statement.

Mr. Asari explained, unlike the reports, Arian was not detained, but the police interrogated him for a few hours about what he saw.

“My son was so annoyed at the point that we decided to return him to the village.”

Again at home, Arian resumed the school but “still feels himself. His mother tells me that every time he rings his phone, he is afraid.”

“I know that he will be well over time. But I don’t think my son will try to search for planes in the sky again,” he added.
