The preliminary probe report on the Air India Flight 171 crash in Ahmedabad has triggered a storm. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) in its report released on Saturday revealed the fuel control switches on the Boeing Dreamliner 787 were turned off just seconds after the flight took off - without explaining why. The Air India on Monday gave its most detailed reaction to the report. While the airline's CEO, Campbell Wilson, claimed the investigation shows there were no mechanical faults. He claimed that no fuel or takeoff issues were found and that all pilots passed medical checks. The Indian Commercial Pilots' Association accused the investigators of unfairly blaming the cockpit crew The FAA and Boeing back the aircraft’s design, but families demand answers. Was this tragic crash the result of human error or a deeper system flaw? The mystery only deepens as questions mount and emotions run high.
