US regulator: Quite sure no issue with AI 171 fuel switch

Preliminary Probe Report Reveals SHOCKING Details Of AI171’s Cockpit Audio | AI171 Crash Report

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. #AirIndiaCrash #DreamlinerDisaster #AI171 #PlaneCrashProbe #AAIB #AviationDisaster #AhmedabadCrash #AircraftEngines #CockpitAudio #AviationSafety #IndiaPlaneCrash #Boeing787 #RunToCutoff #CrashInvestigation #FlightAI171 #AviationNews #RATDeployment #EngineFailure #BoeingProbe #FlightRecorder ~HT.96~GR.125~ED.102~

‘Passengers Flew Out Of Their Seats’ As Southwest Flight 1496 Nosedives To Avoid Midair Collision

Panic erupted aboard Southwest Flight 1496 when the aircraft took a terrifying nosedive just minutes after takeoff from Burbank, California, en route to Las Vegas. Passengers described being thrown from their seats as the plane dropped 20 to 30 feet to avoid a potential mid-air collision. Screams filled the cabin as children and adults feared they were crashing. Two flight attendants were injured, one reportedly dazed from hitting her head. The pilot later told passengers the plane had nearly collided with another aircraft and had lost communication with air traffic control. Southwest confirmed the maneuver was in response to onboard collision alerts, and the FAA is now investigating. Despite the chaos, the plane landed safely in Las Vegas. The incident sparked outrage and fear online, with some passengers demanding answers. A flight attendant reportedly quit on the spot. The terrifying nosedive has raised new concerns about mid-air traffic control safety. #Southwest #PlaneDrop #AviationScare #FAA #NearCollision #Flight1496 #MidAirIncident #EmergencyDescent #PassengerTerror #AirSafety #FlightChaos #AirTrafficFail #NearMiss #BurbankFlight #LasVegasBound #FlightScare #JetDrop #PilotAlert #BreakingNews #AirCrisis ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~

Trump’s 200% Tariff Threat to China RUINS Trade Deal | U.S Ultimatum on Rare Earths Shakes Markets

President Trump warned of steep 200% tariffs on China if rare-earth magnet exports were curbed, raising fresh concerns over the fragile U.S.-China trade truce. Speaking alongside South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, Trump cited airplane parts as leverage, noting China’s reliance on Boeing jets. Rare-earth magnets are crucial for U.S. industries like automotive, electronics, and clean energy, with China controlling nearly 90% of global supply. Analysts caution Trump’s remarks may be more bluff than policy, but tensions over critical minerals remain a flashpoint in trade talks. #Trump #China #TradeWar #RareEarth #Magnets #Tariffs #USChinaRelations #Boeing #GlobalTrade #Manufacturing #CleanEnergy #Electronics #Automotive #TradeTalks #WhiteHouse #SouthKorea #USPolitics #TradeTruce #CriticalMinerals #EconomicPolicy #Geopolitics #SupplyChain #GlobalEconomy #ChinaExports #TrumpStatement #TradeTensions #BoeingDeal #MineralDependency #EnergySecurity #BreakingNews ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

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~
