00:00 In a recent development, the wreckage of the Indian Air Force's N-32 aircraft, which
00:06 disappeared over the Bay of Bengal in 2016, has been found 310 km off the Chennai coast.
00:14 The aircraft, carrying 29 personnel, went missing and images captured now reveal the
00:19 debris on the seabed.
00:21 The search images were scrutinised and found to be confirming with N-32 aircraft.
00:27 This discovery at the probable crash site, with no other recorded history of any other
00:32 missing aircraft report, in the same area points to the debris as possibly belonging
00:38 to the crashed IAF N-32 registration K-2743.
00:44 On the morning of July 22, 2016, an IAF Antonov N-32 embarked on its journey from the Tambaran
00:51 Air Force Station in Chennai with 29 people on board, including crew members.The transport
00:57 aircraft was en route to Port Blair in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands for its weekly
01:02 trip.
01:03 Departing from Chennai at approximately 8 am, its destination was INS Utkarsh, an Indian
01:10 naval air station located in Port Blair.
01:13 Shortly after take-off, the N-32 lost all contact and vanished from radar screens while
01:20 flying over the Bay of Bengal.
01:22 The mysterious disappearance triggered India's largest search and rescue mission for a plane
01:27 missing over the sea.
01:29 Unfortunately, on September 15, 2016, the Indian Air Force conceded defeat.
01:35 In letters to the family members of the 29 individuals on board the N-32 K-2743, the
01:42 Air Force expressed its inability to locate the missing aircraft and, regrettably, had
01:48 no choice but to declare those on board as presumed dead.
01:53 The aviation community was left grappling with the unanswered questions surrounding
01:58 the tragic incident.
