The research on the origin of the Air India Boeing 787 accident that crashed on June 12 in the takeoff of Ahmedabad, in the northwest of India, reviews all the hypotheses even those of Sabotage, an Indian minister said on Sunday.
“All angles are examined,” said the minister’s delegate in charge of civil aviation, Muryidhar Mohol, in response to a question about a possible sabotage raised by the NDTV news channel.
The aerial disaster, the deadliest worldwide since 2014, left at least 279 dead people, according to a provisional police report made public two days after the accident.
A single passenger, sitting near a rescue result in the front of the plane, miraculously survived its fall, with 242 people on board, in a residential area of the city shortly after taking off. At least 38 people were killed in the field, according to the same evaluation of the police source.
An emergency call from the pilot shortly after takeoff
The pilot issued an emergency appeal just after leaving the land, said the Ministry of Civil Aviation of India, without revealing other details at this stage about the causes of the accident.
The video images are transmitted after the accident that show the Boeing Dreamline unable to take altitude, then clash against an orange fire ball.
In his interview with NDTV, Murlidhar Mohol mentioned, among others, the scenario of a simultaneous breakdown of the two device engines. “It never happened,” he said.
“The report (survey) will allow us to say if the engines have had a problem, if it is foods in querosene and why the two engines have stopped working,” added the minister.
A report presented “within three months”
“It is too early to say, but whatever the reason (of the accident), it will know it,” Murlidhar Mohol continued, evoking a report “within three months.”
The two black boxes of the aircraft, the Technical Data recorder (FDR) and those of the conversations in the cabin (CVR), will be analyzed in India, the Indian Civil Aviation Office (AAIB) said on Wednesday.
The Air India flight accident, bound for London, is the first to involve a B-787, entered the service in 2011.
Civil aviation ordered an inspection of the other 33 B-787 in the Air India service after the accident. Murlidhar Mohol repeated this Sunday that this operation had not revealed “any problem.” To date, forensic doctors have been able, thanks to DNA, to name 260 victims. Identification work is still in progress.
