Fresh controversy has erupted over the fatal Air India crash in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad last month. A Wall Street Journal report claims a cockpit recording reveals the captain cut off the aircraft’s fuel midair, moments after takeoff. The first officer, reportedly panicked, questioned the captain’s move, as per the leaked cockpit transcript. Both pilots, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder, were killed along with 240 others onboard and 19 on the ground—only one person survived. While the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau's (AIIB) preliminary report confirms both fuel switches were turned off within a second, it doesn’t state whether the action was accidental or deliberate. India’s Civil Aviation Minister urged restraint, saying no conclusions should be drawn yet. The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has strongly condemned the US media report, calling it speculative and harmful. Meanwhile, Air India completed checks on the Fuel Control Switches in all Boeing 787s with no issues found.

A chilling preliminary report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) confirms that both engines of Air India’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner shut down seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12, killing at least 270 people. The aircraft was airborne for just 32 seconds before slamming into buildings near BJ Medical College. Crucially, cockpit recordings capture a moment of confusion: one pilot asks, “Why did you cut off?” to which the other replies, “I didn’t.” Investigators found both fuel control switches had flipped from ‘RUN’ to ‘CUTOFF’, triggering total engine failure. The RAT deployed, signaling power loss, and the plane began a rapid descent. Despite efforts to restart, only one engine partially responded. Sabotage is ruled out, but scrutiny now falls on a 2018 FAA advisory and maintenance history. The probe will focus on whether faulty switches or human error led to one of India’s deadliest aviation disasters.

Shocking footage reveals Palestinians dodging bullets near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid centers — sites accused of turning into deadly traps amid escalating violence. Since May 2025, nearly 800 civilians have died around these US-Israeli backed aid distribution points, many caught in crossfire near Israeli Defense Forces positions. The UN warns that this aid model violates international norms and puts starving Palestinians at extreme risk. Eyewitnesses report soldiers firing without warning, turning humanitarian aid into a weapon. Critics call for urgent reform as Gaza’s blockade and failed aid system push millions to the brink of starvation. Is aid saving lives, or fueling a humanitarian crisis? Watch and decide.

A small passenger plane crashed in a fiery explosion just seconds after takeoff from London Southend Airport, killing all on board. The Beech B200 Super King Air aircraft, en route to Lelystad, Netherlands, flipped mid-air and plunged nose-first into the ground, triggering a massive fireball visible for miles.
Eyewitnesses described the harrowing moment as the aircraft banked sharply, inverted, and burst into flames just 300 meters from the runway. The plane, operated by Dutch medical transport firm Zeusch Aviation, had completed two flights earlier that day before tragedy struck.

A devastating explosion tore through Rome’s Prenestino-Centocelle neighborhood on Thursday, injuring more than 35 people, including police and firefighters. The blast erupted during an LPG unloading operation at a local gas station, sending a massive orange fireball into the sky and hurling glass and metal debris across the area.
Rai News and Corriere della Sera confirm that emergency crews were already evacuating the site before the detonation, likely saving lives. Nearby Metro stop Teano was shut down as authorities cordoned off the area and battled ongoing flames. Eyewitnesses described the moment as “hellish,” with shockwaves felt far beyond the city’s eastern quarters. The blast reignited safety concerns over urban fuel depots in populated residential zones. An investigation into the exact cause is underway as Rome reels from one of the city’s most chaotic emergencies in recent years.
