Ahmedabad: Last month, an Air India plane crashed in Ahmedabad. The plane crashed into a medical college a few minutes after taking off from Ahmedabad airport. 241 out of 242 passengers died in this accident. One passenger survived. The investigation into the incident is underway. All possibilities are being examined. The preliminary investigation report will be out soon. However, a media report in America has raised serious doubts. Let’s find out about this.
According to a report by the American media outlet ‘Wall Street Journal’, the switch controlling the fuel supply in the engine of the crashed plane was turned off. Due to this, the thrust in the plane was turned off as soon as it took off and the plane started descending. Thrust is considered an important thing in an aircraft, which helps the plane in flight.
No information has come to light in the investigation so far. Or there has been no technical malfunction. In which it is being said to turn off the switch. Pilots use this switch to start, stop the aircraft or in emergency times. This report by the American media has started a discussion even before the investigation report of the Indian agencies has come out.
An important update has come out in the Air India plane crash case in Ahmedabad. The preliminary report of the investigation into the horrific Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad has been submitted to the Ministry of Civil Aviation. This information was given by news agency ANI, citing government sources. However, the findings of the report have not been officially announced yet.
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is investigating the accident and is conducting a detailed review of the entire case. On June 12, an Air India flight bound for London crashed into a hostel complex in Meghnanagar minutes after taking off from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. A total of 260 people, including 241 passengers and some civilians on the ground, died in the accident. The accident sparked nationwide mourning. The central government immediately ordered a high-level inquiry.
According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the black box recovered from the accident site has been safely recovered and its Crash Protection Module (CPM) was opened at the AAIB laboratory on 25 June 2025. Important flight data and communication logs have been successfully downloaded from this module. Based on this data, the exact cause of the accident – technical failure or human error – will be determined. One passenger survived with serious injuries and is undergoing treatment.
