[Regnum] Sabotage is being considered as one of the versions of the crash of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner of Air India in the Indian region of Gujarat. This possibility was not ruled out by the Air Accident Investigation Bureau of India (AAIB).
"Investigating agencies are now carefully studying the data from the black boxes of the crashed plane and are considering all versions of the causes of the disaster, including a possible act of sabotage," India's Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol said in an interview with NDTV.
He added that investigators are also checking CCTV footage and that various agencies are involved.
According to Mohol, the sudden stop of both engines has never occurred in such an accident before.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on June 12, an Air India plane crashed near Ahmedabad airport almost immediately after taking off for London. There were 230 passengers, 10 flight attendants and two pilots on board. When it crashed, the plane crashed into a medical college dormitory.
Hundreds were killed when the plane plummeted from the sky, including 242 on board and dozens more on the ground, many of whom were inside a building housing medical students. A single passenger survived the crash and his escape was caught on camera as he walked away from the burning wreckage.
Investigators have been combing through the wreckage, and analyzing the plane's "black box" flight recorders, as they try to establish what brought down Flight AI171.
Besides the possibility of sabotage, aviation experts say other theories will also be explored, such as an aircraft malfunction, a bird strike, or pilot error.
