Ahmedabad Air India Crash: Preliminary Report Reveals Tragic Details

A devastating Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad has claimed the lives of 240 people, leaving just one survivor. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has released its preliminary report, shedding light on the tragic events that unfolded just seconds after takeoff.

Engine Failure Suspected in Fatal Crash

According to the AAIB’s initial findings, both engines of the aircraft failed mid-air, leading to the crash a mere 32 seconds after the plane left the ground. This sudden loss of power left the pilots with little time to react, resulting in the catastrophic crash.

Bird Strike Ruled Out

Importantly, the report explicitly rules out the possibility of a bird strike or any bird activity contributing to the engine failure. Investigators are now focusing their efforts on understanding the reasons behind the dual engine shutdown.

The loss of AI 171 is a profound tragedy, and the investigation will continue to delve into the details surrounding this devastating event. The full report will be crucial in understanding the factors that led to the crash and implementing necessary safety measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.
