Headline: Air India Crash Sparks Controversy Over Mysterious Cockpit Recording
Caption: 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.
