Air India Cockroach Flight Logbook A quirky and unexpected entry in Air India’s flight defect logbook has gone viral on social media, leaving the internet amused. The note, reportedly written by a flight engineer, read: “Cockroach hanged to until death.”
The unusual phrasing, combined with the dramatic tone, instantly caught attention online after a picture of the log entry surfaced on X (formerly Twitter). Netizens couldn’t stop joking about the creative way of documenting such a trivial incident in official aviation paperwork.
According to reports, the entry was made in the aircraft’s defect logbook — a mandatory record maintained by airlines to note any technical or operational issues observed during a flight. However, in this case, instead of a mechanical fault, the engineer decided to record the demise of a cockroach found onboard, complete with an official declaration of its “death.”
Users flooded the comments with memes and jokes. Some praised the engineer’s sense of humor, calling it “the most dramatic obituary ever written for a cockroach.” Others joked that the “ghost of the cockroach might haunt the cockpit.”
While Air India has not officially commented on the viral note, aviation enthusiasts say such humorous log entries are not unheard of, as crew members often use humor to lighten up long, high-pressure shifts.
The incident once again proves that even in the rigid world of aviation, a touch of wit can fly high — especially when a “fallen cockroach” becomes an online sensation.
