Just over 5km away from Ahmedabad airport is Civil Hospital Ahmedabad, a huge hospital that reportedly has over 3,000 beds in it.

But the pilot managed to avoid the hospital when it crashed, and some have suggested that he did this purposely to avoid additional casualties.

Discussing the matter on Reddit, one person penned: "Air India AI-171 crashed just 1.7 km from the Ahmedabad airport. It crashed in a somewhat loosely populated area which has doctor's hostels and mess for medical students of BJMC and Civil Hospital Ahmedabad."

"Just 400 metres north of the crash site is a civil hospital and south just adjacent to the airport wall is a high-density residential area," they went on, as per Daily Star.

Nearby is also the neighborhood of Asarva which, as of 2020, was home to 5,100 people. Had the plane crashed there, many more lives would have been lost.

No such thing la diu, he would not have the time to think with such a descent rate. His main priority was to land the plane as safely as he could in that urban jungle.

Dono where he gonna land also, all also urban jungle

For experienced pilot, I believe he knows what buildings are those. So if he even have 30seconds, I think he can divert Abit to decide where to crash land..  but anyway, let him die a hero lo.. he also a victim in this, he also has family kan

He went straight up 625 ft and glided down. No left/right yaw. Simple as that.

well, if you have not enough force, the worst thing you could do is turn, because if you turn, it will make the plane drop much faster.

as we can see from the video, the plane is just maintain its path, trying to stabilize. it is in the pilot practice and manual to stabilize and dont do any turn if you lost your engine.

Wouldn't call him a hero until we got more info from the black box.

Put it all the event, this plane is very poorly maintained to the core.

1st, aircond not working already giving a red flag. The plane electrical system is not functioning well somewhere, could be some short circuit, or some low battery, or some ic component failing

2. Then when flying, electric pop and lights went out

3. Rat system deployed to generate electric

4. Engine failure due to.not enough electric

Because had he fly above the hostel, he will fly directly to the hospital and heart of the township, potentially kiling thousands of people

Bharat trying to spin the news already.😅

Jet engines don't fail from a lack of electricity.

Got many possibilities

Including engine electrical component controlling fuel injection.. fail ad, no fuel masuk, jet engine mati lo...

And too low a height for them to do restart in the air also..

both engine power loss, RAT automatic pop up.
landing gear cannot attract due hydrolic need power to run, 200 feet, too low to perform dive manoeuvre

Fuel contamination

Maybe they go use dirty fuel from iran

Fuel contamination

if this is the case, many flights will kena alrdy

Ayam somehow syukur klia and klia2 dekat hutan kepala sawit yang ada org sudah buat untung 😅😂

The RAT (Ram Air Turbine) deployed so its an indication of both engine failure. However the plane had some power because the RAT deployed.

However video clearly showed the pilots had little room to manoeuvre and could only glide the plane down.

Most important is that Bharat has too many people and hence got build-up areas in front of runway which in itself is a crazy safety hazard precisely cos airport planners know such incidents occur. If the plane had landed on flat ground, all passengers would likely have been ok. Bharat really have zero planning for safety. This blame solely lies on building authority.

Look at KLIA or changi, either flat land or water only in front and behind runways.

There’s still Subang airport now handling commercial jet planes too

Even Subang not as crazy bad.

This is the Ahmedabad airport.


This is Subang. For now its still mostly just golf range of industrial complex, so in any case of a crash, the impact to the surrounding should be still minimal.

No way they will admit no maintenance which is a compulsory thing to do. Probably will just give vague theories which cannot be verified like bird strikes and software bugs.

Based on apple report

Phone made in india more defect than china..

So high chance is - maintenance problem.. all half pass six engineer and maintenance crew doing shoddy job just like how they do software coding. Plug wire here n there, looks ok can run then let it go

Ya but no way they will admit maintenance problem. Sure cover up punya. If they admit then its criminal negligence already and family can sue terribly. And India sure say no if you want bring in your own forensic guy to check the plane.

I remember the TransAsia Airways Flight 235 pilots also been praised by everyone that they did their best to prevent more casualty, but then everyone found out the incident was caused by the pilots' mistake.

You think air crash investigation is like local police investigation kah? Black box contents are shared with Boeing and the aviation industry experts also. Multiple third party investigations are carried out for insurance claims from multiple companies. The truth cannot be hodden. This is why they can easily have documentaries on air crash investigations.

Me: Can India refuse to give the blackbox to Boeing and only give to authority?

AI: Yes, the plane operator can refuse to send the black box to Boeing and only send it to the Indian authority — if the crash happened in India or India is the lead investigation state.

Let’s break it down:


---

🔍 Who Legally Gets the Black Box?

So no, they can don't give to Boeing if they did not perform maintanence to save face.

Can. But nothing has been said so far.

Also, regulations is one thing. There’s also the aspect of insurance payout and contracts/agreement with boeing.

In most cases, these documents require joint and third-party investigations. Its almost impossible for Air India or Boeing to lie.

So no, they can don't give to Boeing if they did not perform maintanence to save face.

If the news of maintenance  issue official, many will avoid this airline like plague ad.. but as usual, indian will still take one la

He had lost all controls and RAT speed was too slow, not sufficient to push flaps

Mah lan jiao u la..
Rat is not suppose to push the plane la..
It is like a car alternator generate electricity for the basic core plane function la..

Mah lan jiao u la

I said push the plane or the flaps?

He had lost all controls and RAT speed was too slow, not sufficient to push flaps

Insurance payout only based on official findings. Authority does not need third party to join the investigation. You are abit gullible.

This is a very ignorant statement not borne in video evidence.

Nothing in the videos indicate that the pilot had lost control. The plane had only gone up a few hundred feet. The plane was level with landing gears down all the way down.

Its not likely pilot error.

The reason why some jokers thought its pilot error is cos some murican "analyst" cannot see from grainy video, thought flaps was not deployed correctly. this has since been debunked.

GE engines on B787 has had multiple issues in the past.

2012: https://www.wired.com/2012/09/ntsb-boeing-787-engines/
2016: https://www.industryweek.com/operations/qua...paired-says-faa
2019: https://aerossurance.com/safety-management/...7-genx-biocide/

That's why SIA B787 uses Rolls Royce engines. Air India uses GE engines.

For those wondering why airport is always so far from the city.
This is the reason why.

Insurers can and will choose to appoint their own investigators also. Don’t be stupid please.

You appoint your own adjuster after a crash or the insurance company appoints?

The same applies for an air crash claim. Insurance company appoints an adjuster and forensics companies. Sometimes multiple from multiple insurers involved. They all rely on verified third party investigations. Unless there is government intervention maybe.

Also, the lead insurers are very likely not based in India. Larger re-insurers from UK are mostly engaged to handle big portfolios.

Stupid use your brain la. If maintanence issue you think the gov still allow them to check it? The gov has discretion to allow them to touch or not. The insurance still must pay based on the final report by authority.

Dont compare car with a plane. Its different.

I actually worked in this sector. I can tell you. Insurers don’t pay based on government reports. And it won’t be just an Indian Insurer. Re-insurers are mostly engaged probably from richer insurers countries. Plus what makes you say AirIndia is covering up maintenance issues? Any source or proof?

Don’t simply pluck statements from the air. Listen and learn kid.

If you worked in this sector and still assume car and airplane work the same, then it shows your quality is lower. sorry ya.

If you worked in this sector and still assume car and airplane work the same, then it shows your quality is lower. sorry ya.

There is no assumption on car and planes. There was an example of how insurance works.

Keep your stupidity to yourself.

He is right. I also worked in one of the big 4 insurance company

You are indeed stupid because planes are under international aviation rules while car does not. So its not the same.
Nope. Insurance company cannot access the wreckage unless authority allows.

Seriously. Stop making yourself look more stupid kid. The plane belongs to Air India not the authorities.

Ok ayam dont want to comment further. Continue lol

User: Can India authority refuse any insurance company or even the plane owner to appoint its own forensic to check the wreckage?


Yes, Indian authorities can legally refuse any insurance company or even the plane owner from appointing and sending their own forensic team to examine a plane wreckage.

Why?

Aviation accidents in India are governed by:

Aircraft Act, 1934

Aircraft Rules, 1937

Annex 13 of the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization)


Key points:

1. India's DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) or the AAIB (Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau) has exclusive control over the investigation and wreckage site.


2. Only investigators authorized by the Indian government or its assigned bureau are allowed to conduct forensic examination of the site and wreckage.


3. India can restrict access to protect the integrity of the investigation and to ensure compliance with safety and national security standards.



For insurance companies or plane owners:

They may request access, but cannot demand it.

Authorities may share findings later, or allow limited access under supervision, but it's entirely at the discretion of the Indian government.


Exception:

If the aircraft is registered in another country, the state of registry, state of manufacture, or state of operator may be invited to appoint accredited representatives, but they still need India's consent.

Conclusion:

So yes, India can legally refuse any external party from conducting their own forensic investigation on a crash within Indian jurisdiction.

Lucky you not continue lor. But the dum2 above even bring in people's father really low class scum.

Ayam today no mood to enter discussio liao. My flight to oberseas is coming soon

If the news of maintenance  issue official, many will avoid this airline like plague ad.. but as usual, indian will still take one la

Their flights mostly packed and sold out, that's why they don't care about customer service or maintenance

Typical la of Bharat to sensationalised everything. Majority of news outlets are calling it a pilot’s error.

1. Don't fly air india
2. Don't fly boeing

Once crash then they must comply to send the wreckage to authority.

If they did not do maintainance, of course they wont assign own forensic to prove ownself guilty. You are really dum2

The state owned that airlines for 7 decades previously. Of course will protect its reputation lar. Why you so dum2 ah?
