Air India Tragedy: Decoding The Big 'RAT' Clue Which Points At Engine Failure

On June 13, 2025, Air India Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, India, killing at least 270 people in one of the nation’s deadliest aviation disasters. With only one survivor, investigators are racing to uncover the cause. New evidence suggests both engines may have failed, triggering the deployment of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT), an emergency power generator that provides critical backup power for flight controls, hydraulics, and navigation systems. What happens when a modern commercial jet loses both engines? How does the RAT work, and what does its activation tell us about the final moments of AI171? In this video, we break down the science behind dual engine failure, explore expert theories about possible electronic or hydraulic failures, and analyze why this rare event turned catastrophic. Join us as we dive into the latest findings and discuss what this tragedy means for aviation safety. Share your thoughts in the comments and subscribe for more in-depth aviation content!
