It was confirmed moments ago that all passengers, including the flight crew of Air India AI171, a Boeing 787 aircraft that was scheduled to travel from Ahmedabad to London, were killed in the crash that took place minutes after the plane took off from the airport. This incident is one of the biggest aviation disasters in the country in a long time, and people are demanding a proper investigation into what went wrong that led to this crash.

Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was also among the deceased. Vijay was going to London to see his daughter and return to India with his wife, Anjali, who is staying there. The Gujarat commissioner confirmed that there are no survivors in this deadly crash. Currently, various theories are circulating on the internet regarding what went wrong with the Air India flight that resulted in this tragedy.

Air India Plane Crash: What Aviation Experts are Saying? 

Many individuals asserted that this Boeing aircraft is among the safest, and the likelihood of it encountering problems is extremely low. After the accident happened, aviation experts started weighing in on the possible reasons behind the crash.

One of the popular theories that experts make clear is that the crash might have happened due to issues in the propulsion system, possible engine failure, or fuel system problems. Experts also deliberated on aircraft redundancies and emergency procedures, highlighting the plane's single-engine design.

This is where the discussion turns serious. If one engine fails, then the other engine should work, and according to experts, the crash happened because it was a dual engine failure. Aviation reports indicate that the probability of both engines failing together is one in a billion flying hours. That's why this disaster is being considered one of the rarest of the rare tragic events in Indian aviation history.

Ahmedabad Crash: Were the Flaps set to Zero? 

Another theory uses the screenshot moments before the Air India flight crash and indicates that the flaps were set to zero and that they should be set between 5 and 15 degrees. With the temperature more than 37 degrees Celsius and a full fuel load, this could have led to the aircraft being unable to climb.

The pilot also was an experienced one, with more than 8,200 flying hours to his name. All in all, today is a dark day in India's history, and this incident won't be forgotten for years to come.
