What is next for the Air India crash probe? 4 things to know
SOUMYAJIT SAHA
MUMBAI -- The preliminary report on last month's deadly Air India crash showed that cutting off of the fuel supply to the aircraft's two engines was likely the main cause of the crash, which killed 260 people.
In the widely anticipated preliminary report, published early on Saturday morning, India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau said that the plane's fuel cutoff switches, which must be open to allow fuel to flow into the engines, were moved just after takeoff from Ahmedabad Airport in Gujarat, starving the engines as the aircraft tried to gain altitude.

At least 19 killed as Bangladesh air force plane crashes into college campus
DHAKA (Reuters) -- At least 19 people were killed as a Bangladesh air force training aircraft crashed into a college and school campus in the capital city of Dhaka on Monday, a fire services official said. More than 50 people, including children and adults, were hospitalized with burns, a doctor at the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery told reporters. The incident occurred at the Milestone School and College in Dhaka's northern area of Uttara, officials said. "Bangladesh Air Force's F-7 BGI training aircraft crashed in Uttara. The aircraft took off at 13:06 (0706 GMT)," the military's public relations department said in a statement. Videos of the aftermath of the crash showed a big fire near a lawn emitting a thick plume of smoke into the sky, as crowds watched from a distance. Firefighters sprayed water on the mangled remains of the plane, which appeared to have rammed into the side of a building, damaging iron grills and creating a gaping hole in the structure, Reuters TV visuals showed. "A third-grade student was brought in dead, and three others, aged 12, 14 and 40, were admitted to the hospital," said Bidhan Sarker, head of the burn unit at the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital, where some victims were taken. Visuals also showed people screaming and crying as others tried to comfort them. "When I was picking (up) my kids and went to the gate, I realized something came from behind...I heard an explosion. When I looked back, I only saw fire and smoke," said Masud Tarik, a teacher at the school. Muhammad Yunus, head of Bangladesh's interim government, said "necessary measures" would be taken to investigate the cause of the accident and "ensure all kinds of assistance". "The loss suffered by the Air parents, teachers and staff, and others in this accident is irreparable," he said. The incident comes a little over a month after an Air India plane crashed on top of a medical college hostel in neighboring India's Ahmedabad city, killing 241 of the 242 people on board and 19 on the ground, marking the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade.

More than 60 killed in fire at Iraq shopping mall
More than 60 people have been killed in a fire that tore through a shopping mall in eastern Iraq. The blaze broke out at the five-story building in the city of Kut on Wednesday night. Reuters news agency on Thursday cited local health authorities and other sources as saying that 69 people died and 11 others were missing. Footage shows the fire raging with the upper floors engulfed in orange flames. People are also seen gathering on the rooftop. Multiple Western media outlets say the commercial facility opened just one week ago. The AFP news agency cited a survivor as saying that a fire started from an air conditioner on the second floor and rapidly spread throughout the building. Iraq has experienced similar incidents in the past. In 2023, a fire swept through a wedding venue in the northern province of Nineveh, leaving more than 100 people dead.

Air India junior pilot asked why captain turned off fuel switches, sources say
A cockpit voice recording of doomed Air India Flight 171 indicates that it was the younger co-pilot who asked his more experienced colleague why he turned off the plane's fuel-supply switches, according to people familiar with the matter. The information, from people who asked not to be identified because they're not authorized to speak publicly, reveals for the first time who said what in the cockpit. A preliminary report from India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau released last week included a description of the exchange, including one pilot's denial that he turned off the switches, without identifying the individual speakers. Aviation experts had speculated that it was first officer Clive Kunder who had posed the question to captain Sumeet Sabharwal, given that Kunder was the pilot flying and would have had his hands full — one on the yoke commanding the wide-body into the skies, and the other on the throttle controlling the aircraft's speed. The Wall Street Journal previously reported who said what in the exchange. The initial investigation showed that the fuel-control switches on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner were turned off immediately after the plane departed. While the move was reversed about 10 seconds later, it was too late to avert the June 12 crash that killed 260 people on board the plane and on the ground in the city of Ahmedabad. How and why the switches came to be turned off — cutting the flow of fuel to the engines — are now the key lines of inquiry for investigators. Officials are probing whether it could be the result of a failure of the plane's systems or human error. And while the new details add fresh perspective on the confusion in the cockpit during the 32 seconds between takeoff and crash, investigators still haven't drawn any definitive conclusions. Earlier this week, India's civil aviation authority ordered an inspection of cockpit fuel switches on Boeing 737 and 787 aircraft operating in the country in an effort to ascertain whether the crash was caused by equipment failure. Aviation psychologists and medical specialists are also involved in the investigation — a typical practice across the aviation industry — to probe the role of the pilots in the crash. The first officer expressed surprise that the fuel switches were off and then panicked, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with U.S. officials' early assessment of evidence. The captain seemed to remain calm, according to the report. The Airline Pilots' Association of India has pushed back on human action as the cause. The AAIB didn't immediately respond to requests for comment sent outside normal business hours. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, which is assisting on the investigation, referred questions to the Indian authorities. Boeing also referred questions to the AAIB. Air India and GE Aerospace, which manufactured the engines, declined to comment. Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said in a memo to employees on Monday that the report identified no cause and didn't make any recommendations. "I urge everyone to avoid drawing premature conclusions as the investigation is far from over,' he said.
