✈️ In a major breakthrough after the tragic crash of Air India flight 171, both critical black boxes – the flight data recorder (FDR) and the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) – have been recovered. P.K. Mishra, principal secretary to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, confirmed the discovery in an official statement late on Sunday.
Reports indicate that the FDR was located first on June 13, followed by the CVR, as noted by the Hindustan Times. India's federal civil aviation minister, Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, stated that the crash investigation report will be released within three months.
Downloading and analyzing the data from these devices might take four to five days. Several international investigating agencies have already arrived in Ahmedabad to support India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau in piecing together the events that led to the crash, which claimed 274 lives.
This recovery is a vital step in shedding new light on the incident, and investigators are hopeful that further analysis will reveal valuable insights. Stay tuned for more updates as the investigation continues. 🔍
