Passengers on-board the AI 880 Air India flight were left breathless, as the air-conditioning system on the flight from Bagdogra to Delhi wasn't working. Passengers discovered even before take off that the AC wasn't functioning. But when they brought this to the notice of the Air India staff, they were told that the system would work just fine after the flight takes off. But that didn't happen. For the next two hours they relied on whatever they could get their hands on from newspapaers to instruction manuals, to keep themselves from sweating and suffocating.
