Part 12/14:
In the back of today’s brief, investigators are scrutinizing the black boxes from the recent Air India Boeing 787 crash, which tragically killed 270 people. The aircraft, en route to London's Gatwick Airport, crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad, India, striking a nearby medical college hostel.
Preliminary investigations suggest the crash may have been caused by mechanical failure, pilot error, or a combination of factors. The severe fire damage raises concerns about the integrity of the black boxes, which contain vital data such as cockpit voices, pilot communications, and emergency alarms. The investigation team from India, collaborating with the UK, the US, and Boeing, cautions that analyzing the data could take several months due to the extent of the damage.
