Air India Crash: Families Demand Full Accountability After ‘Incomplete’ Preliminary Report

Relatives of victims from the Air India Flight 171 crash are expressing profound dissatisfaction with the recently released preliminary report, branding it as ‘incomplete’ and vowing not to rest until the true root cause and accountability are established. The tragic incident, which occurred on June 12 shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad, claimed 260 lives.

The preliminary findings revealed that fuel to both engines of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was cut moments after departure. Ria Patel, granddaughter of 79-year-old victim Manju Mahesh Patel, described reading the report as ‘heartbreaking’ and stressed her inability to find peace without understanding where accountability lies. Similarly, Sameer Rafik, cousin of victim Faizan Rafik, is urgently calling for the release of cockpit audio recordings to shed more light on the events.

With 53 UK nationals among the deceased, the pressure for a thorough and transparent investigation is mounting. Dr. Mario Donadi, a friend of another victim, Dr. Prateek Joshi, condemned the initial findings as a ‘huge slap in the face,’ questioning how a seemingly trivial switch deactivation could lead to such immense loss. The ongoing investigation faces intense scrutiny as families demand complete answers and closure.
