Core Viewpoint - The Indian aviation authority has mandated an urgent inspection of certain Boeing aircraft following a tragic accident involving an Air India flight, raising concerns about Boeing's safety and quality issues [1][2][4]. Group 1: Accident Details - On June 12, an Air India flight from Ahmedabad to London crashed shortly after takeoff, resulting in 241 fatalities out of 242 passengers, with 19 additional casualties on the ground [1]. - The crash is noted as one of the deadliest aviation disasters in the past decade and the first involving the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" [1]. Group 2: Investigation Findings - The preliminary report from the Indian Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) indicated that the aircraft's landing gear did not retract properly after takeoff, which is against standard procedures [4][6]. - The report confirmed that the aircraft's flaps were set to the correct position for takeoff, contradicting initial assumptions about flap retraction issues [4][6]. - Critical data from the black box revealed that the fuel control switches for both engines were switched from "Run" to "Cutoff" shortly after takeoff, leading to a rapid decrease in engine thrust [7][8]. Group 3: Potential Causes - The investigation has not definitively concluded whether the fuel switches were turned off due to mechanical failure, human error, or other factors [8][12]. - The design of the fuel control switches includes multiple safety features to prevent accidental operation, raising questions about how they were turned off [9][12]. - Preliminary findings suggest that the switches may have been manually turned off, but the exact circumstances remain unclear [13][14]. Group 4: Public and Industry Reaction - The initial report has sparked controversy in India, with public opinion suggesting that it too quickly absolves Boeing of responsibility [14][15]. - Critics argue that the report lacks sufficient evidence and transparency, as it does not provide original black box data or cockpit recordings to support its conclusions [14][15].
