Air India Plane Crash: Boeing engineer-turned-whistleblower Sam Salehpour told senators he was threatened and silenced after raising alarming safety concerns about Boeing 787 and 777 aircraft.
He cited faulty workmanship and a toxic corporate culture, warning of catastrophic consequences.
Just years later, an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed in Ahmedabad, killing all 242 onboardâmarking the first fatal Dreamliner crash since its launch.
The incident raises serious questions about Boeingâs accountability, possible cover-ups, and what regulators missed.

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 Chinaâs 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 Trumpâs remarks may be more bluff than policy, but tensions over critical minerals remain a flashpoint in trade talks.

Fresh controversy has erupted over the fatal Air India crash in Gujaratâs Ahmedabad last month. A Wall Street Journal report claims a cockpit recording reveals the captain cut off the aircraftâs fuel midair, moments after takeoff. The first officer, reportedly panicked, questioned the captainâs 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 groundâonly one person survived. While the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau's (AIIB) preliminary report confirms both fuel switches were turned off within a second, it doesnât state whether the action was accidental or deliberate. Indiaâs 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.

An Air India incident was narrowly averted at Mumbaiâs Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on July 21, 2025, when flight AI 2744, an Airbus A320 from Kochi, veered off the runway during heavy rainfall. The Air India incident occurred at 9:27 AM, as the aircraft briefly entered a muddy area near the runway but returned to the tarmac without getting stuck. While all passengers and crew were safe, three tyres burst and possible engine damage was reported. The Air India incident prompted activation of emergency response teams, and operations have shifted to the secondary runway as minor damage was sustained on the primary strip.

Flight instructor Alan Colman says itâs nearly impossible to accidentally move engine fuel switches on a Boeing 787, after a preliminary report into the deadly Air India crash found the controls had been set to "off" during take-off. He said no pilot would normally touch them at that stage. Report by Etemadil. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn

A chilling preliminary report by Indiaâs Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) confirms that both engines of Air Indiaâs 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, âWhy did you cut off?â to which the other replies, âI didnât.â Investigators found both fuel control switches had flipped from âRUNâ to âCUTOFFâ, 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 Indiaâs deadliest aviation disasters.
