Ill-fated Air India Boeing may have had emergency power systems activated when it crashed: report
SHARE

The recent Air India Boeing crash that claimed the lives of over 270 people has left investigators searching for answers. According to a new report, it is believed that the emergency power systems of the Boeing were activated at the time of the crash, raising questions about the functionality of the plane’s engines during takeoff.

Preliminary findings suggest that the emergency power generator, known as the ram air turbine, was likely running when the 787 Dreamliner plummeted to the ground just 30 seconds after takeoff. This system is designed to provide electricity and hydraulic pressure to critical flight systems in the event of engine failure or a drop in hydraulic pressure.

While dual engine failure in commercial aviation is extremely rare, experts are still trying to determine what caused the tragic crash of the 12-year-old aircraft. The plane was carrying 242 passengers and crew, reaching an altitude of 650 feet before crashing into a residential building in Ahmedabad, India, killing 30 people on the ground.

Miraculously, there was one survivor of the crash, British national Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who managed to escape through the emergency door and make his way to safety. Tragically, his brother Ajaykumar, who was also on the flight, did not survive. Ramesh, visibly distraught and injured, helped carry his brother’s coffin during a funeral service in Gujarat.

Ramesh recounted the terrifying moments leading up to the crash, describing how the plane seemed to stall midair before descending rapidly. Investigators are still working to uncover the exact cause of the tragedy, as the aviation community mourns the loss of so many lives.

As the investigation continues, the aviation industry will undoubtedly be looking closely at the findings to prevent similar incidents in the future. The safety and reliability of commercial aircraft are paramount, and lessons learned from this tragedy will likely lead to enhanced safety measures and protocols in the future.
