An Indian astrologer repeatedly predicted a major plane crash before the Air India tragedy that saw a Boeing 787 Dreamliner plummet just minutes after take off.
The astrologer, Astro Sharmistha, had tweeted last year that in 2025 ‘plane crash headlines may give us shock.’
And last week, she warned about her plane prediction on her page, writing: ‘I am still holding high the prediction of [a] plane crash and destruction in aviation in 2025.’
Her shocking prediction began trending on social media just hours after the Air India flight bound for London Gatwick crashed and exploded into a fireball in the Indian city of Ahmedabad.
The plane had been carrying 242 passengers, including 53 Britons. Those on board also included 159 Indian nationals, seven Portuguese and a Canadian. Eleven of those on board were children, including two newborns.
A British father, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, who had been in seat 11A when the jet came down, miraculously survived the plane crash.
Rescue teams supported by the military have recovered 204 bodies from the scene so far, with casualties from the plane and the area surrounding the crash.
