Air India plane crash: New revelations emerge suggesting fuel cut off…, tail section was not…
New Delhi: After the initial report of the Ahmedabad plane crash came out, the western media started blaming the pilots. It was being claimed in the western media that one pilot had deliberately cut off the fuel supply to the engine. However, now a new angle has come out in this investigation, which has completely rejected the claims of the western media.
Some shocking evidence has been found from the wreckage of Air India’s plane AI171, which crashed within seconds of taking off in Ahmedabad on June 12. The rear part (tail) of the plane was not burnt in the fire, which shows signs of electric fire.
What does the new report say?
According to investigating officials, there was a disturbance in the power supply of the plane before the crash. Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the only surviving passenger in the accident, has also told that before the plane crash, the lights of the plane were going off repeatedly, which indicates a fault in the power supply.
What happened in the rear end of plane?
The tail of the plane was saved from the fire in the plane crash and the body of a cabin crew member has also been recovered here, who was tied with a seat belt and died due to the collision. This body, found 72 hours after the accident, had decayed due to firefighting chemicals. However, it became clear that the objects present in the rear part of the plane were also safe.
What kind of fault was it?
Before flying from Ahmedabad to London, this flight went from Delhi to Ahmedabad. During this time, there was a technical fault in the STAB POS XDCR of the plane, which was fixed in Ahmedabad. This component was present in the rear part of the plane.
Apart from this, the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) present in the tail of the plane is also safe, which is used to start the engine and provide power backup. There are also signs of electric fire in this part of the plane. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has kept all the parts safely in Ahmedabad, which are being closely examined.
What is fuel cut off theory?
According to aviation experts, the fuel cut off must have happened due to disruption in power supply. Possibly, in an attempt to restart the plane, the pilots may have thought of turning the fuel on-off, but after cutting off, they did not get a chance to run, and the plane crashed before that. It takes only 1 second for fuel cut off and running. In such a situation, even if a pilot had cut off the fuel by mistake, the other pilot had enough time to restart the fuel. It is clear from this that fuel cut off is not the whole truth of the plane crash.
