Legit.ng has compiled some reactions to the new video of the survivor below:

Krish Ña Joshi said:

"He lost his brother, sustained injuries physical and lifelong mental and people were talking about he can't be a brit !"

Rao Sunny said:

"This survivor I dont know what to say , it is so traumatic to imagine everyone died including his brother seated beside, and you are the only one survived, I just feel like crying after seeing him."

Bahrit Wahlang said:

"After joining the dots and based on little technical idea, I think it could have been due to electrical failure. Point no 1 The landing tyres (gear) remain as it is, No 2. the saying of the survivor that there was a laud noise. No 3 he said there was electrical flickering. No 4 the coming out of the turbine to generate electricity No 5 dual engine failure. To me all these show that could have been an electrical issue during closing of the landing gear, because the survivor said there was a blasting noise that could have been electrical issue that let to the dual engine failure. 🤔🤔🤔"

Christopher Kovachev said:

"It's a bit suspicious and disturbing that they are only talking about the one survivor and haven't mentioned anything about the 240 people that died in the accident."

Prem India said:

"Hope after his discharge, he will continue to assist the authorities with all the necessary investigation."
