Second Boeing Engine FIRE This Year! Delta Flight to Atlanta FORCED Back to LAX After Mid-Air Blaze

A Delta Air Lines flight bound for Atlanta made an emergency landing after its Boeing 767 engine caught fire shortly after takeoff from LAX. Dramatic passenger videos show flames bursting from the left engine mid-air before pilots declared a mayday and safely returned to the airport. No injuries were reported, but this marks the second Delta engine fire this year, raising fresh concerns about Boeing’s aircraft safety and maintenance. Delta is investigating the cause as viral footage reignites debate over Boeing’s ongoing troubles. #DeltaFlight #Boeing #EngineFire #EmergencyLanding #AviationNews #PlaneFire #DeltaAirLines #Flight446 #LAX #Boeing767 #AirSafety #Mayday #BreakingNews #PlaneMalfunction #PassengerVideo #AviationCrisis #FlightIncident #DeltaEmergency #PilotHero #FlightRadar #AirTravel #PlaneScare #NoInjuries #AircraftSafety #DeltaFlight446 #AviationDrama #BoeingCrisis #ViralVideo #AirlineNews #FlightEmergency #TravelNews Also Read Aeromexico Achieves Highest On-Time Arrival Rate Among Airlines in 2024 Rankings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/aeromexico-leads-global-on-time-arrival-rankings-2024-011-4032171.html?ref=DMDesc Two Workers Die, One Injured in Explosion at Delta Air Lines Atlanta Facility :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/delta-air-lines-atlanta-explosion-incident-011-3918781.html?ref=DMDesc Emergency Slide Detaches from Delta Flight, Forcing Return to JFK :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/delta-air-lines-emergency-slide-incident-jfk-011-3810255.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~

India BLASTS 'Twisted' U.S Report On Air India Crash, Denies Pilot Fuel Cut Claim As ‘Baseless….’ [Video]

India BLASTS 'Twisted' U.S Report On Air India Crash, Denies Pilot Fuel Cut Claim As ‘Baseless….’

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. #AirIndiaCrash #PilotControversy #FuelCutAllegation #787Dreamliner #AviationProbe #FlightBlackBox #AirIndiaNews #WallStreetJournal #Boeing787 #IndianAviation #AhmedabadCrash #PilotLastWords #CivilAviationIndia #CrashInvestigation #PlaneCrashUpdate #CockpitRecording #FlightDisaster #AviationSafety #DGCAIndia #PilotBodyCondemnsReport ~ED.102~GR.124~HT.96~

BBC Under Fire For 'Burying Boeing Blame': Netizens ACCUSE Network Of Twisting AI171 Crash Report

The crash of Air India flight AI171 has sparked a storm of controversy as BBC’s coverage comes under scrutiny. The network is being accused of prematurely blaming pilot error based on partial cockpit audio, while downplaying potential Boeing faults. Netizens argue the full context—including the second pilot’s denial—was omitted. Critics say the BBC’s narrative shifts blame from Boeing to the flight crew, especially after the channel changed a YouTube title post-backlash. Public figures like Suhel Seth have slammed the reporting as biased, questioning the integrity of the BBC’s narrative. #AI171Crash #AirIndia #BBCNews #BBCControversy #PilotError #CockpitAudio #Boeing737 #AviationNews #BBCBias #BoeingAccountability #PlaneCrash #FlightSafety #CrashInvestigation #BBCBacklash #BreakingNews #AviationScandal #NewsEthics #IndiaNews #BoeingUnderFire #SuhelSeth #CrashReport #NarrativeControl #MediaBias #BBCIndia #FlightAI171 #PilotVsBoeing #BBCCriticism #PublicOutrage #BiasInMedia #AviationControversy Also Read Air India Flight Crash: Internet Blasts BBC For Biased Reporting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/air-india-flight-crash-internet-blasts-bbc-for-biased-reporting-7799453.html?ref=DMDesc Air India AAIB Report On Ahmedabad Plane Crash Says Co-Pilot Was Flying, Captain Was Monitoring :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/air-india-aaib-report-on-ahmedabad-plane-crash-says-co-pilot-was-flying-captain-was-monitoring-7799327.html?ref=DMDesc Biased Towards Pilot Error In AAIB Report: Pilot Association Bats For Fair Inquiry Into Air India Plane Crash :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/biased-towards-pilot-error-in-aaib-report-pilot-association-bats-for-fair-inquiry-into-air-india-pl-011-7799193.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~
