The sudden closure of airspace across parts of the Middle East due to the escalating conflict between the US, Israel and Iran has created panic among travelers and residents. At a time when flights were canceled and airports were preparing to close, music composer Santhosh Narayanan managed to leave the area in time. However, his social media post quickly went viral when he announced he was on one of the last flights to take off before the layover, turning it into a high-stakes mission to leave the drama behind.
Santhosh Narayanan’s emotional message is in the air
The “Seyon” composer shared that he boarded the plane shortly before many countries began closing their skies. While traveling towards the United States, he described the moment he got an internet connection in the air as very emotional. His first comment was about people stranded in the disaster-hit area. He prayed for them, called them his brothers and sisters, and expressed his sympathy for the fear they felt.
