original description

Passengers on a special chartered flight to view the total eclipse in India saw spectacular sights. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder, who was also on board, reports. "Ladies and gentlemen, 30 seconds to go. Get your cameras ready and enjoy the view." Captain Oswal's measured tones were in stark contrast to the frenzy his words unleashed. Bounding with enthusiasm, passengers on board Flight 2279 whooped with delight as the sky slowly darkened 'Magical' There were veteran "eclipse chasers", first-timers, amateur astronomers, scientists and even young children. For Deepak Bhimani, 70, it was his eighth solar eclipse. "Each time it's as magical as the previous one," he said smiling, as he fiddled with his camera. "Each time I learn something new."
