New footage of doomed Air India flight ‘shows cause of crash' before jet plummeted to the ground killing 271

Meanwhile, the second black box containing key cockpit voice recordings has been found - expected to reveal the pilots' panic as the plane went down.

It proves that the Boeing 787 lost power immediately after takeoff, according to commercial airline pilot Steve Schreiber, He says it reveals the Dreamliner suffered a "dual engine failure" before the worst aviation disaster in more than a decade. Initially the analyst, known as Captain Steve, believed a simple error in the cockpit was to blame, possible related to the landing gear which did not retract. But after reviewing the HD clip, Steve is convinced that something caused both of the engines to cut out. He pointed out a "protrusion on the belly of the aircraft", underneath which is a "little grey dot". Steve claimed this is evidence of the Ram Access Turbine (RAT) deploying on the plane. He said: "Many aeroplanes have it. It is just behind the wing on the right side of the aeroplane, there is a little door that holds it in. "It looks like a little Evinrude motor, it's a little two bladed prop. "The purpose is to provide electrical and hydraulic pressure for the aircraft on an extreme emergency." What caused the Air India plane disaster? Six main theories emerge – from mystery over landing gear to 40C weather Steve explained there are three things which could cause the RAT to deploy on a 787: "A massive electrical failure, a massive hydraulic failure, or a dual engine failure." He also explained that RAT make a "distinctive sound" like a single-propeller plane, which can be heard in the video. Steve concluded: "It is evidence for us it was dual engine failure, most likely. It could have been electrical issue, it could have been hydraulic issue, it could have been either one of that. "But I think the fact the aeroplane is mushing out the sky gives the idea it was a dual engine failure." Officials combing the crash site have found the second black box, which will let them reconstruct what happened second-by-second. It holds the data from the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) - which captured all cockpit audio including pilot conversations, radio transmissions, warning alarms and ambient mechanical sounds.

Watch: crane lifts Air India plane's wreckage from crash site in Ahmedabad
Days after Air India's Boeing 787 Dreamliner headed to London crashed minutes after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, a video of authorities removing the aircraft's wreckage is doing the rounds on the Internet. The aircraft, which was carrying 242 people, including passengers and crew, to Britain's Gatwick airport, began losing altitude just seconds after take-off on June 12, before crashing and erupting into a fireball, marking the world's deadliest aviation disaster in over a decade. Shared by an X handle @Turbinetraveler, the viral video shows the crane lifting the aft fuselage section (rear part) of the Air India plane and removing it from the building. The aircraft plunged with a vertical speed of 475 feet per minute, its tail crashing into the first floor of the B J Medical College hostel's mess, killing four medical students and the wife of a doctor, and leaving 20 students injured. Watch the video here: Removal of the aft fuselage section of the Air India Boeing 787-8(VT-ANB) from the BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad. — Turbine Traveller (@Turbinetraveler) June 15, 2025 The crash killed 241 people on board. In a miraculous turn of events, one passenger survived, 40-year-old British Indian national Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who had been seated in 11A. An officer said that Air Traffic Control (ATC) records, reviewed by the Gujarat Police, indicate the aircraft may have taxied at least 300 metres farther than usual on the runway. 'It took off at 1.38 pm and just after a minute, around 1.39-1.40 pm, the pilot sent out a 'No thrust… May Day…May Day' message, following which communication was lost and a crash was heard,' the officer said. On Saturday, Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu informed that investigators would examine all circulating theories surrounding the crash. He further emphasised that aircraft are highly complex machines and determining the exact cause, or combination of causes, requires a thorough and meticulous investigation. The video of the deadly crash, which is all over social media, was shot by a Class 12 student Aryan Asari.
