Air India Crash Probe Focuses On Engine, Flaps And Gear As Boeing 787 Fleet Faces Safety Checks
The investigation into the devastating Air India plane crash that killed over 240 people is now focusing on the aircraft's engine thrust, flaps, and landing gear. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, flying from Ahmedabad to London, crashed moments after takeoff, erupting into flames and striking a medical college hostel, killing passengers and people on the ground. Only one passenger reportedly survived. Sources say the landing gear remained open during ascent, raising questions about technical failure or maintenance lapses. India's aviation regulator has ordered a one-time mandatory pre-takeoff parameter check for all Dreamliners in Air India's fleet and is weighing a full grounding of the 787s during the probe. With terrorism teams also part of the investigation, the nation awaits answers in what is now the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade.#airindiacrash #boeing787disaster #engineflapfailure #dreamlinergrounding #aircraftinvestigation #ai171crash #aviationsafetyindia #bjmedicalcollegecrash #aircraftmaintenancefailure #indiauktragedy #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
