Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Air India Crash Sparks Controversy Over Mysterious Cockpit Recording
Caption: Air India Crash Sparks Controversy Over Mysterious Cockpit Recording. The preliminary report into the Air India Flight 171 crash, which killed 260 people in June, has only deepened the mystery instead of providing closure. Investigators are focused on a crucial cockpit voice recording that captures one pilot asking the other why the fuel switches were cut—shutting off both engines just after take-off. The reply? A denial—but the audio doesn’t confirm who said what. The aircraft attempted to restart mid-air, but only one engine was regaining thrust when the plane crashed in Ahmedabad, less than a minute after take-off. With experienced pilots and no health concerns reported, speculation has grown. Some media outlets suggest the captain may have shut the engines—claims the Indian investigation bureau has slammed as irresponsible and unverified. A full transcript is expected in the final report.
