🛑 Breaking: Air India Boeing 787 Crash Explained by Probe! 🛑

TL;DR: The AAIB’s probe into the June 12 Air India Flight AI 171 crash reveals that just three seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad, both engines stopped getting fuel because their control switches flipped from RUN to CUTOFF—just one second apart! 😱 The pilots were totally shocked, denying they touched the switches. 😳 Their efforts to restart the engines came too late, and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed into a medical college hostel, killing 260 people and leaving only one survivor. 💔 Investigators are still figuring out whether it was a technical glitch or human error. 🛠️

🧭 What Happened in Those Fateful Seconds?

✈️ At 08:08:39 UTC, Flight AI 171 lifted off from Ahmedabad with a massive weight of about 213.4 tons. 🏋️🔥 Just three seconds later, both engine fuel-control switches moved to CUTOFF, which immediately cut fuel supply. 💥⏱️ The switches moved one second apart, making it look almost simultaneous. ⚡🎧 Cockpit voice recordings caught the pilots saying:👉 “Why did you cut off the fuel?”👉 “I didn’t do so.”So spooky, na? 😨

⏳ Desperate Restart & Crash

😢 The pilots tried to flip the switches back to RUN after about 10 seconds, but by then, the plane was too low to recover.🆘 A MAYDAY call was made at 08:09:05 UTC.💔 Just 29 seconds after takeoff, the plane clipped the airport boundary wall and smashed into the BJ Medical College hostel.🙏 A total of 260 people died—241 onboard and 19 on the ground. Only one person survived, which is nothing less than a miracle! 🌈

🔍 Technical Notes & Big Worries

🔧 Fuel-Control Switches: They are designed with a lock mechanism. You have to pull and twist to turn them off—so how did both go to CUTOFF almost together? 🧐⚠️ Past Warnings: The FAA had earlier flagged problems with these switches in 2018, but airlines didn’t have to make changes. 🙄🛠️ Earlier Defect: On the same day, this aircraft had a stabilizer sensor defect. Maintenance cleared it, but did it play a role? 😟👨‍✈️ Pilot Experience:

• Captain had over 15,600 flying hours (8,600 on 787).

• First Officer had 3,400 hours (1,100 on 787).Clearly, not newbies! ✈️

🤔 What’s Still Under Investigation?

🔍 Whether the switches were flipped by mistake, some malfunction, or design flaw.🔍 If AAIB will ask Boeing to redesign the switches.🔍 Whether global safety rules will get stricter after this crash.

🙏 MediaFx Opinion

From the people’s perspective, this crash shows how the working-class families pay the price when big companies and regulators fail to keep safety first. 💔 Whether it was human error or a technical fault, everyone deserves to fly safely. No profit should ever come before people’s lives. ✊ We must demand accountability and transparent answers, so that no family suffers such pain again. 🌹
