"Respect Probe Process": Aviation Minister In Rajya Sabha On Air India Crash

Union Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu has called for calm as investigations continue into the June 12 Air India plane crash in which 274 people were killed. A Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner took off from Ahmedabad airport that fateful afternoon but struggled to gain altitude; it lost thrust rapidly and crashed into a hostel building less than two km from the airport.

The country's aircraft accident investigator, the AAIB, has released a preliminary report into the crash that noted the plane's two fuel control switches moved, within a second of each other, from the 'RUN' to 'CUTOFF' positions while the flight was in a critical take-off phase.
