A preliminary report into the deadliest aviation disaster in over a decade has revealed a chilling twist: moments before Air India flight AI171 crashed in Ahmedabad last month, both engines lost fuel supply — and neither pilot claimed responsibility for switching it off.
The tragic incident, which occurred shortly after take-off on 12 June from Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport en route to London Gatwick, killed 260 people — including 241 of the 242 people onboard and 19 on the ground. The aircraft, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, plummeted into a densely populated area, with debris striking parts of BJ Medical College and Hospital hostel.
