The 787 That Fell in 54 Seconds — One Person Walked Away

Описание: On the 12th of June, 2025, Air India flight 171 lifted off from Ahmedabad bound for London Gatwick. Two hundred and forty-two people on board. Fifty-four seconds later, both engines were dead, the aircraft was in the rooftops of a medical college, and the cockpit voice recorder had captured one of the most chilling exchanges in modern aviation: "Why did you cut off?" — "I did not."

This is the inside story of the first ever fatal hull loss of the Boeing 787 — what the AAIB preliminary report actually says, what the FAA knew about the fuel control switches in 2018 and why nothing was done about it, and how a single seat in row eleven became the difference between two hundred and forty-one deaths and one survivor.
