Air India plane crash: The report of the plane crash in Ahmedabad has arrived. The cause of the accident has been revealed in it.

On June 12, Air India's Boeing 787-8 flight crashed a few seconds after takeoff in Ahmedabad. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau of India ( AAIB) has released a preliminary report on this accident. There are many shocking revelations in the report. According to this, both the engines suddenly stopped after the flight took off, due to which the plane could not get power and it crashed.
According to the AAIB report, the plane had taken off properly. After this, everything was normal and it also reached the required height, but then the fuel cutoff switches of both the engines moved from ' run ' to ' cutoff ' . This means that the engine stopped getting fuel. When fuel did not reach the engine, it stopped getting power and the flight crashed.
The conversation between the pilots was revealed
The report has also revealed the conversation between the two pilots of the flight, Sumit Sabharwal and co-pilot Clive Kunder . Why did the engine stop, this is the biggest question. The cockpit recording has revealed the conversation of the pilots.
- First pilot: “Why did you turn off the switch?”
- Second pilot: “I didn’t.”
Therefore, no pilot deliberately shut down the engine. The report suggests that this could be a technical fault. However, there is also a possibility of human error. A detailed investigation of the plane crash is still underway. At present, it is being investigated how both the engines shut down on their own.
Tried to start the engine
The ram air turbine ( RAT) had come out after the engine shut down , which indicates that the plane needed emergency power. An attempt was made to start the engine, but it was too late. The plane could not gain altitude and crashed before crossing the airport wall.
