Black box recovered from Air India crash site, DGCA issues new safety norms for Air India Boeing Dreamliners

The recovery of the black box from the Air India flight 171 crash site in Ahmedabad, which resulted in the death of 241 people, is the main focus. Investigators are analysing the wreckage and evidence to determine the cause of the crash, with considerations of a possible double engine failure. The lone survivor, a 45-year-old British national named Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, described his miraculous escape as his seat fell off during the crash. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the crash site and met with injured victims at the hospital. The black box is expected to provide crucial data on cockpit conversations and mechanical parameters, with investigators set to analyse over 1000 parameters to ascertain the cause. In response, DGCA has issued new safety inspection norms for Boeing 787 aircraft.
