NOB- Ahmedabad news: An Air India flight from Ahmedabad to London crashed. It crashed in Ahmedabad itself within moments of taking off from the airport. A total of 242 people, including the flight crew, were on the flight. Former Gujarat CM Vijaya Rupani was also among them. He was going to see his daughter in London. There has been no information so far about his rescue or the discovery of his body. Official sources have not said that anyone has been rescued in this accident so far. The bodies are being shifted to hospitals. Moments after taking off from the runway the pilot sent a message to the air traffic control saying Mayday. This means that there is a complete danger. However, the signals have stopped since then. The flight crashed within seconds of giving that message. How the accident happened has not yet come out. There were some British nationals as well as other nationalities among the passengers. The plane crashed into a medical college hostel building near Ahmedabad airport. It was lunch time. Many of the medics in the hostel were in the canteen. At least twenty medics are believed to have died when the plane crashed into the hostel building. No official announcement has been made on the death toll yet. Prime Minister Modi and Aviation Minister Atchan Naidu were shocked by the accident. They were shocked that a former CM from their party was also present. Amit Shah left for Ahmedabad in a hurry. This is being assessed as one of the biggest air accidents in the country. The aviation department is investigating the reasons for this accident.
The ‘‘black box’’ is likely to be crucial: The government has revealed that there are many deaths in the Ahmedabad plane crash. The Air India 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft, which was en route to London, crashed within minutes of takeoff. The plane exploded and caught fire as it hit the ground. However, an investigation has now begun into the causes of the accident. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has started an investigation to find out the causes of the accident. If the crucial ‘‘black box’’ is found in the plane, the reasons may be known. The black box is a device that records the performance of the aircraft and the conversations between the pilots. The flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder are considered two parts as the black box. The flight data recorder records how high the plane is? How fast is it traveling? and the performance of the flight controls. The flight data recorder (FDR) records key technical parameters including altitude, speed, engine thrust, and flight path data. The cockpit voice recorder collects conversations between pilots and commands from ATC. Finding the black box can help determine the cause of a plane crash. Black boxes are naturally very robust. They can withstand any type of accident. The bright orange box can withstand explosions, fires, water pressure, and high-speed crashes. It stores 25 hours of data.
