Air India Flight 171 crashes in Ahmedabad, India, are being examined through findings from an official investigation report, according to two outlets. The report includes reference to cockpit voice recording from moments before the aircraft plunges to the ground. Both sources say the recording captures pilots uttering a short sequence of words just before impact, describing it as harrowing or “chilling.” The outlets also report that investigators link the accident to an error involving the aircraft’s fuel system, specifically a switch. In the accounts, the suspected malfunction or incorrect operation of a fuel switch is presented as a key factor under review by investigators. The crash is described as killing 260 people. While the sources focus on the reported wording in the cockpit audio and the suspected fuel-switch error, they do not provide additional technical detail beyond those shared points. Both articles frame the cockpit recording as part of the evidence in the official report and present the fuel switch issue as the investigation’s central explanation at this stage.
