Why the Air India crash report leaves devastated families with more questions
Air India crash report leaves more questions than answers
- Preliminary findings into the Air India crash revealed the plane's fuel switches were cut off immediately after take-off, stopping fuel supply to the engines.
- The report included a cockpit transcript where pilots discussed who turned off the fuel, with one denying it, and experts state it is not easy to accidentally cut off fuel switches.
- The London Gatwick-bound flight crashed moments after taking off from Ahmedabad airport, killing all but one of the 242 people on board and approximately 19 on the ground.
- Despite the fuel switches being returned to normal and engines attempting to recover, both had lost thrust, causing the plane to come down in a residential area.
- Victims' families are seeking justice and answers, expressing deep concerns about the findings and calling for full transparency and accountability in the ongoing investigation.
