Ahmedabad Air India Crash: One Year On, Probing for Answers

One year after Air India Flight AI171 crashed in a crowded Ahmedabad neighborhood, killing 260 people (242 on board and 19 on the ground) and leaving one survivor, relatives gathered for a vigil as investigators publish an interim update. The preliminary AAIB report pointed to a fuel shutoff to the engines and sparked theories of pilot action, but it did not provide a definitive cause or safety recommendations. With final conclusions potentially delayed beyond the one-year deadline, authorities say only interim statements may be issued on anniversaries while engine analysis and data reviews continue.
