Barkha Dutt, an Indian journalist, has caused a commotion on Facebook after announcing she took an Air India flight en route to London.

The journalist posted a picture of herself and her in-flight personal television.

She captioned it:

"On Air India 161 to London. Yes."

Her in-flight personal television had a welcome greeting and provided an option for preferred language selection.

The journalist's trip comes a few days after the ill-fated Air India flight 171 aeroplane crash, which had more than 250 casualties, including people around the medical college it crashed into.

While many wished her a safe flight, others accused her of doing PR for the embattled airline.

In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a rare video had shown the passengers on the Air India plane crash shortly before it happened.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a journalist had shared an intriguing story about Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the Air India crash, that many people are not aware of.

According to the news reporter, the lone survivor had switched to a window seat, which was seat 11A, before he got onto the flight. He noted that when the aeroplane crashed, Ramesh got out of the seat, used the emergency exit, jumped off, and walked away.

"What makes it even more incredible is that when there are survivors, the plane crashes, generally speaking, according to all the data, those survivors were sitting at the back of the plane where there was less impact. He was sitting towards the front of the plane, and none of the aviation experts I had spoken to can explain any of this..." his statement partly read.
