Air India Plane Crash: Boeing Whistleblower's IGNORED Warning Led To Dreamliner Crash In Ahmedabad?

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 onboard—marking the first fatal Dreamliner crash since its launch.

The incident raises serious questions about Boeing’s accountability, possible cover-ups, and what regulators missed.

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~
