About four hours after the crash, streamers including “ChickenAndy” and “BinxBasilisk” arrived at the site. They were seen taking selfies and documenting their visit on live streams, which drew sharp reactions from social media users. ChickenAndy, who declined to share his full name, told The Independent that he had no knowledge of the deaths when they first arrived at the scene and insisted he would not delete the content.
He claimed he did not film any bodies and said he would consider legal action against the airline for defamation, citing financial losses and negative attention. While he acknowledged the gravity of the situation, he maintained that he had done nothing wrong. Meanwhile, BinxBasilisk did not respond to requests for comment.
