Air India Plane Crash: Shocking Information Revealed in AAIB's Preliminary Report

On June 12, shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad, Air India's Boeing 787-8 crashed. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has revealed preliminary details about this incident, uncovering many surprising aspects.

According to the report, the aircraft took off as usual and reached the required altitude. However, suddenly the fuel supply to both engines stopped, causing them to fail. This happened because the engine fuel cutoff switch went from 'run' mode to 'cutoff' mode, stopping the fuel supply to the engines and causing the aircraft to crash.

Important clues from the conversation between the pilots

According to the cockpit recording, the conversation between pilot Sumeet Sabharwal and co-pilot Clive Kunder made it clear that neither pilot was directly involved in the engine shutdown. In the conversation, one pilot asks, “Why did you turn off the switch?” and the other replies, “I didn't do anything.” This suggests the possibility of some technical fault in the system.

After the engine shut down, the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) was immediately activated, which provides additional power in such emergency situations. Technically, an attempt was made to restart the engine, but by then it was too late. The aircraft could not reach the required altitude and crashed before reaching the wall ahead of the runway. Currently, a thorough investigation of the incident is underway, and officials are working to find the exact technical cause behind it.
