Two cabin crew members from Manipur onboard crashed Air India flight in Gujarat
Two of the 10 cabin crew members onboard the Air India flight that crashed in Gujarat on Thursday (June 12, 2025) were from conflict-affected Manipur.
The fate of both women— Kongbrailatpam Nganthoi Sharma, 22, and Lamnunthem Singson, 28— remained unknown as relatives and neighbours gathered at their residences, awaiting official confirmation about their condition.
Ms. Sharma hails from Thoubal district in the Imphal Valley, while Ms. Singson's family has been residing in the Kuki-majority Kangpokpi district following their displacement from Imphal after the ethnic violence erupted in May 2023.
'We have come to know from media reports that at least 40 people have survived the crash. We hope the crew members are among the survivors,' a member of the Sharma family said.

Communal tensions escalate in Assam town; CM Himanta orders shoot-at-sight to maintain peace
GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday issued a shoot-at-sight directive in Dhubri town due to escalating communal tensions in the lower Assam district. The state government is also deploying paramilitary forces, including RAF and CRPF, to the Muslim-majority district bordering Bangladesh Tensions erupted after a pro‑Bangladesh poster campaign and the discovery of cow heads at a Hanuman temple, followed by nighttime stone-pelting incidents Amid escalating unrest, Sarma visited the town on Friday. He said that the government would take strong action against those fomenting trouble. During his visit to Dhubri on Friday, Sarma affirmed that the government would act decisively against those fomenting unrest. 'A particular group has become active in Dhubri with the intention of damaging our temples. Shoot‑at‑sight orders will be enforced after 6 pm. Anyone caught pelting stones will be dealt with on the spot,' he said. Sarma said the group 'Nabin Bangla', which advocates for Dhubri's inclusion in Bangladesh, posted posters around Eid, a sign of potential cross-border influence. He linked the incidents to attempts to 'weaponise dirty tricks' such as cow heads and beef to provoke unrest. He also directed the Dhubri SP to arrest local criminals and ordered non-bailable warrants for those identified. Additionally, he initiated a probe into a 'beef mafia' allegedly responsible for bringing thousands of cows from West Bengal ahead of Eid. "I will be here next Eid; even if it means guarding the Hanuman temple myself overnight,' Sarma said. He appealed for community cooperation, urging traders to install CCTV cameras, and offered government-provided cameras to mosques and temples as needed. He announced that RAF, CRPF, and other forces would be deployed in Dhubri. 'We don't have a shortage of security personnel; we have one lakh police personnel. Dhubri will receive whatever is necessary,' he said.

Ahmedabad plane crash: Black Box recovered for Air India Boeing 787-7 Dreamliner; What it can tell us about the tragedy
Authorities have successfully recovered one of two Black Boxes from the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner that crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad airport on June 12, killing 241 of 242 people aboard. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The flight data recorder was found on the rooftop of a medical college hostel that the aircraft struck during the tragedy. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) confirmed the recovery within 28 hours of the crash, marking a crucial breakthrough in determining what caused Flight AI-171 to issue a Mayday call and crash just 11 seconds after becoming airborne. The London-bound flight was carrying 242 passengers and crew when it went down in Ahmedabad's Meghaninagar area. Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu announced the recovery on social media, calling it "an important step forward in the investigation" that will "significantly aid the enquiry into the incident." The second Black Box, located in the aircraft's front section, remains missing and search operations continue. What is a Black Box and what can it tell us about the Ahmedabad plane crash Despite their name, aircraft Black Boxes are actually bright orange crash-resistant devices designed to survive extreme impact, fire, and water pressure. Every commercial aircraft carries two such recorders: the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR). The recovered FDR contains thousands of technical parameters including altitude, speed, engine performance, control surface positions, and system warnings. For the Ahmedabad crash investigation, this data will reveal precise details about the aircraft's final moments, including whether the disaster resulted from mechanical failure, engine malfunction, or other factors. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Modern Boeing 787 aircraft can record thousands of data points per second, providing investigators with a second-by-second reconstruction of events. The FDR will show exactly what the aircraft's systems were doing when Captain Sumeet Sabharwal issued the desperate Mayday call reporting "no thrust, losing power, unable to lift." Why is the second Black Box so important to the investigation While the recovered FDR reveals what the aircraft did, the missing Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) is equally crucial as it captures the human element of the tragedy. The CVR records all cockpit audio including pilot conversations, radio transmissions, warning alarms, and mechanical sounds that could provide vital clues about crew responses and decision-making. Aviation experts emphasize that finding both Black Boxes is essential for a complete investigation. The FDR shows the aircraft's technical behavior, but only the CVR can reveal whether pilots correctly identified problems, followed emergency procedures, or faced communication breakdowns during the crisis. The CVR would capture any emergency checklists being executed, crew coordination efforts, or discussions about mechanical problems that preceded the crash. This human context is vital for understanding whether the tragedy resulted from system failures, pilot error, or a combination of factors. Where will be the Black Box data for Air India Boeing 787-7 Dreamliner be analyzed The recovered Black Box will likely be analyzed at India's state-of-the-art Digital Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder (DFDR & CVR) Laboratory, which was inaugurated in Delhi earlier this year. This specialized facility represents a significant advancement in India's aviation investigation capabilities. The Delhi laboratory enables the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) to repair damaged Black Boxes, retrieve data, and conduct thorough analyses of accidents and incidents domestically. Previously, such critical data extraction often required sending Black Boxes to international facilities, causing delays in investigations. This new facility is equipped with cutting-edge technology to handle even severely damaged recording devices, ensuring that crucial flight data can be recovered and analyzed quickly. The laboratory's capabilities will be particularly valuable for the Ahmedabad crash investigation, as it allows Indian investigators to maintain full control over the sensitive data extraction process. How long will the Air India crash investigation take Initial data extraction from the recovered Black Box typically requires 2-4 weeks for intact devices, according to international aviation protocols. With the new Delhi facility, this process can now be conducted entirely within India, potentially reducing the timeline for preliminary findings. However, comprehensive analysis takes significantly longer. The International Civil Aviation Organization mandates preliminary findings within 30 days, but final investigation reports typically require 12-24 months to complete. This timeline allows investigators to cross-reference Black Box data with maintenance records, weather conditions, radar logs, and witness statements. For the Ahmedabad crash, the investigation timeline may be extended as this marks the first fatal crash of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner since the aircraft entered commercial service in 2011. US investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board will assist Indian authorities, potentially expediting the technical analysis process. The complexity of analyzing thousands of data parameters per second, combined with the need to understand how the advanced 787's systems behaved during the emergency, means investigators will need considerable time to provide definitive answers about what caused this devastating aviation tragedy. Aviation investigation expert Greg Feith notes that while extracting data is relatively quick, "understanding the story it tells takes considerable time" - a process that could provide crucial insights for preventing future disasters.

'Black Box Recovered from Rooftop in Air India Crash Site' Says AAIB
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) on Friday clarified that the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR), commonly referred to as the black box, recovered from the rooftop of a building at the site of the Air India Flight AI-171 crash in Ahmedabad. "Clarity on confusion: DFDR (Digital Flight Data Recorder) itself is the black box," said AAIB. The AAIB has launched a full-scale investigation following the Air India flight crash on Thursday, with over 40 staff from the Gujarat State Government joining efforts to support the Ministry of Civil Aviation teams on the ground. "Contrary to some reports, the video recorder being circulated is not the DFDR (Digital Flight Data Recorder). The black box was found on the rooftop. AAIB began work with full force immediately. Over 40 staff from the State Government joined efforts to augment MoCA teams on site. The DFDR has been recovered from the rooftop," said the statement of the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
