Ahmedabad aircraft accident: An aircraft crashed immediately after flying from Ahmedabad on 12 June 2025, which not everyone knew that a terrible incident was going to happen in just 26 seconds. Many shocking facts have emerged about Air India flight AI-171. It was Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which came into service in 2013. Investigators have found signs of electric fire in its tail section, indicating potential technical disturbances.
According to media reports, the back part of the aircraft, ie tail section, has been less affected by accidents and explosions. It has limited fire marks, especially in electrical components. Investigating officers are keeping this part safe in Ahmedabad and examining the electronic system present in it so that the real causes of the accident can be ascertained.
A black box from the rear of the aircraft was found on the roof of the hostel of BJ Medical College, but was destroyed due to thermal damage. The second black box was recovered on 16 June, which could recover some data.
The previous flight of this aircraft was found to have a malfunction, which was corrected by the maintenance team. This component was also in the tail section and has now become the center of the main investigation. The APU of the aircraft also occurs in the tail section, which is used to start the engine and give backup power during flight. At the time of the accident, this APU was active in auto start mode, which indicates that the main power system was probably failed.
Vishwashkumar Ramesh, who is the only passenger who is survived in the accident, said that the light of the cabin was repeatedly closing during the flight, indicating a malfunction in the power supply. 72 hours after the accident, the body of a flight attendant was found from the tail section, who was trapped in the seat belt, not by fire. This Dreamliner aircraft was included in 2013, when FAA temporarily grounded them due to the flaws of APU battery. After the improvement, he was again brought to service.
