Air India Crash Prophecy: The pastor on two occasions can be heard warning people of a "mid-air issue" involving "India's national carrier".

Pastor Jerome Fernando on November 26, 2024 first called upon Indians who were present at his event, and gave them a warning.

A video shared by billionaire Harsh Goenka on the Air India plane crash has been going viral on social media. The 1.33-minute clip is of a Sri Lankan evangelical pastor who had ‘predicted’ the deadly accident. The pastor on two occasions can be heard warning people of a “mid-air issue" involving “India’s national carrier".

According to the video, pastor Jerome Fernando on November 26, 2024 first called upon Indians who were present at his event, and gave them a warning. “I begin to see something…your national carrier was flying within your country…and this was a threat mid-air… you will hear it…this is mid-air issue," he can be heard saying.

Months later, on April 24, 2025 — just 49 days before the incident — Fernando warned flyers again: “Avoid red air craft body because this is mid in the air…"

Sharing Fernando’s prophecy from his X handle, Harsh Goenka wrote: “Unbelievable, isn’t it?" The video so far has received over three lakh views.

Internet users were quick to pour varied reactions. While some commented on spread of Christianity in India, others tried to figure out if Fernando had really predicted the crash.

An X user, @SamKhanOfficl, wrote: “This will give a huge boost to Christianity in India which is already spreading fast amongst the lower sections of Indian society."

In the recent past, the state of Punjab has reportedly seen a surge in conversion of poor and Scheduled Caste Sikhs and Hindus. The Sikh Youth Federation Bhindranwala in January had done a survey that revealed the number of Jat Sikhs establishing Christian ministries and churches is steadily increasing.

Many have formed their own Church Parbandhak Committees, with a significant number of Dalit and Mazhabi Sikhs and Hindus attending church services, reported Times of India.
