The investigation into the Air India flight AI171 crash is ongoing, with experts examining various potential causes, including a possible stall due to loss of thrust. Eyewitness footage indicates that the plane took off normally before descending rapidly. The crash resulted in only one survivor, adding to the tragedy of the incident. Experts emphasize that a thorough analysis, especially of the black box and flight data recorder, is essential to uncovering the exact circumstances leading to this unfortunate event, marking a severe incident for the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.
The sole survivor out of the 242 people onboard, 40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, has no idea how he lived to walk out of the wreckage.
Aviation experts cautioned against jumping to conclusions less than 24 hours after the crash, insisting a thorough investigation including examination of the black box would provide a definitive picture.
Dr Sonya Brown suggested that the plane had stalled, indicating a significant loss of thrust which could lead to reduced speed and potential crash.
Some interpreted video footage as showing the wing flaps were not extended during takeoff, suggesting this could have been a pilot error that contributed to the crash.
