Air India plane crash: New revelations emerge suggesting fuel cut off was..., tail section was not...

New Delhi: After the initial report of the Ahmedabad plane crash came out, the western media started blaming the pilots. It was being claimed in the western media that one pilot had deliberately cut off the fuel supply to the engine. However, now a new angle has come out in this investigation, which has completely rejected the claims of the western media. Some shocking evidence has been found from the wreckage of Air India's plane AI171, which crashed within seconds of taking off in Ahmedabad on June 12. The rear part (tail) of the plane was not burnt in the fire, which shows signs of electric fire. What does the new report say? According to investigating officials, there was a disturbance in the power supply of the plane before the crash. Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the only surviving passenger in the accident, has also told that before the plane crash, the lights of the plane were going off repeatedly, which indicates a fault in the power supply. What happened in the rear end of plane? The tail of the plane was saved from the fire in the plane crash and the body of a cabin crew member has also been recovered here, who was tied with a seat belt and died due to the collision. This body, found 72 hours after the accident, had decayed due to firefighting chemicals. However, it became clear that the objects present in the rear part of the plane were also safe. What kind of fault was it? Before flying from Ahmedabad to London, this flight went from Delhi to Ahmedabad. During this time, there was a technical fault in the STAB POS XDCR of the plane, which was fixed in Ahmedabad. This component was present in the rear part of the plane. Apart from this, the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) present in the tail of the plane is also safe, which is used to start the engine and provide power backup. There are also signs of electric fire in this part of the plane. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has kept all the parts safely in Ahmedabad, which are being closely examined. What is fuel cut off theory? According to aviation experts, the fuel cut off must have happened due to disruption in power supply. Possibly, in an attempt to restart the plane, the pilots may have thought of turning the fuel on-off, but after cutting off, they did not get a chance to run, and the plane crashed before that. It takes only 1 second for fuel cut off and running. In such a situation, even if a pilot had cut off the fuel by mistake, the other pilot had enough time to restart the fuel. It is clear from this that fuel cut off is not the whole truth of the plane crash.

Passenger steals Air India crew member's bag mid-air on Delhi-Hyderabad flight

HYDERABAD: A passenger reportedly stole the bag of an Air India cabin crew member mid-air during a flight from Delhi to Hyderabad on July 17. The 28-year-old victim, a resident of Uttam Nagar in Delhi, said that the theft occurred at around 5.10 pm while she was on duty. Her company-issued baggage, which contained a mobile phone, passport, official documents, a FOREX card and other items, was taken by a passenger. She attempted to contact the person by calling her phone. Initially, the man answered and claimed he had taken the bag by mistake and would return it. However, the phone was later switched off. The accused was identified as CPT Raja. The cabin crew member lodged a complaint with the RGI Airport police on July 18. A case has been registered under Section 305(a) of the BNS (Theft), and an investigation is underway.

Air India Crash: Investigators Examine Tail Wreckage For Clues To Electrical Fault, Says Report

Last Updated: Officials familiar with the investigation said that the empennage, or tail assembly, showed signs of a 'contained electric fire' confined to a few components. Investigators probing the June 12 crash of Air India flight AI-171 are focusing on the aircraft's tail section, which they believe could hold critical evidence about what went wrong during the 26 seconds the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was airborne after taking off from Ahmedabad airport. Officials familiar with the investigation told The Indian Express that the empennage, or tail assembly, showed signs of a 'contained electric fire" confined to a few components. This section was detached from the main fuselage during the crash and remained mostly unaffected by the subsequent explosion and fuel fire. Key components from the tail have been recovered and secured in Ahmedabad for detailed analysis. 'They hold the key for a detailed analysis of a possible malfunction in the electric supply of the aircraft during lift-off," an official told The Indian Express. The rear black box, or aft Enhanced Airborne Flight Recorder (EAFR), was found on the rooftop of the BJ Medical College hostel mess. It had suffered significant thermal damage, preventing data recovery through standard methods. When opened, the memory card was found to be extensively damaged. According to the AAIB's preliminary report released on July 12, it contained around 49 hours of flight data, including six previous flights. The voice recordings recovered included two hours of audio, covering the crash sequence. Although the tail struck the hostel building during impact, investigators noted the damage wasn't severe enough to explain the black box failure. Officials are examining whether the fire originated during take-off due to an electrical fault or resulted from the crash. Along with the black box, other tail-section components such as the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), transducers, and rudders are also under scrutiny. The APU was found intact and has been retrieved for further examination. The investigation is also considering a technical issue flagged before the crash. A Pilot Defect Report was filed after the previous flight (AI-423 from Delhi to Ahmedabad) noting a 'STAB POS XDCR" status — referring to a stabiliser position sensor in the tail. An Aircraft Maintenance Engineer reportedly troubleshooted the issue and cleared the aircraft for its next flight, AI-171, at 12:15 pm on June 12. view comments First Published: July 20, 2025, 10:28 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
