Investigation into Air India crash that claimed 270 lives focuses on black box data
Indian investigators are analyzing the black boxes of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner that crashed last week, resulting in at least 270 fatalities. The recovered black boxes contain crucial data such as cockpit conversations and information on the plane's engine and control settings, which will aid in determining the cause of the crash. The tragic incident occurred in Ahmedabad as the London-bound Air India aircraft went down near a medical college hostel shortly after takeoff. With only one survivor, the crash has been declared one of India's worst aviation disasters in decades. The probe is being conducted by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, with support from the U.K., the U.S., and Boeing officials. The investigation involves analyzing CCTV footage, interviewing witnesses, reviewing pilot training records, assessing the aircraft's load, engine performance, and previous issues to establish the root cause of the crash. The recovery and analysis of the black boxes are crucial for understanding the sequence of events leading to the tragedy. Additionally, a high-level committee has been established to prevent future accidents, with a preliminary report expected within three months.
