The Air India Flight 171 crash occurred on June 12, 2025, shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, India, en route to London Gatwick. The Boeing 787-8, carrying 242 people, crashed into a residential area, killing 204 and injuring 41, with one survivor.

Possible causes include mechanical failure or pilot error, but the investigation is ongoing with no confirmed cause. Air India and authorities are supporting families, and the black box is being analyzed.

«Idk HOW that one guy lived. Y’all ever seen Unbreakable with Bruce Willis?»

«@MrTripsOnTheory He was in aft section. Safest section of an airplane to be in upon crash. Photo shows alt section still intact and stuck in building. Japan Air Flight 123, worst single aircraft aviation accident in history that killed 520 people also had a survivor who were seating in the aft section. Rear pressure bulkhead failure caused substantial damage to vertical stabilizer and rudder and completely severed all hydraulic lines rendered the airplane loss of control. Airplane crashed into Mount Takamagahara. Flight attendant seated in the alf section survived.»

«Performance calculation issues. Either he had flaps 5 and need flap 15 for that runway. You can clearly see the dirt and debris once he rotated and that shows indication the plane ran out of runway and the pilot pulled up to early for vr(Rotate Speed).»

«@6275309 You might be right. Did they incorrectly calculated overall weight and then incorrectly set the flaps? Or maybe engine(s) issues but passed V1 and too late to abort?»

«All large planes like this Dreamliner are overloaded with a mix of chemicals in the fuel in order to perform aerosol injections. Hence the tight limits on luggage that started in the last 15 years. They are all heavy.»

«maybe overshot the takeoff due to overloading and tried to throttle back too late»

«Embry-Riddle graduate here, if you notice the engine's failed mid nose up and still had the landing gear out even the accessory turbine in the rear was off which means they lost power to everything when the tires didn't go up the flaps didn't move and the engine stopped and it was full of fuel.»

«@kyle1222 ???? There are two engines incase one engine fails. 787 can climb with just one engine. 787 has six electric generators and two batteries, main and backup. Flaps and landing gear are independent from each other. Both flaps and landing gear are operated by hydraulic system and electrical system as backup.»

«It looks like the pilot pulled back on the throttles instead of going to 90% thrust after rotation.

Really wonder what the black box is going to reveal...

«@Cripple No. They will be on D rate for at least 30 seconds after rotate. Very grainy video but looks like they took off without flaps. And they don't have the altitude to point the nose down to reduce angle of attack and increase speed during stall.»

«@Oracle8 You think they kept the at D rate once they realized no ascent ???

Not saying you're wrong, but that doesn't seem to make sense.

In that situation, you'd think they would immediately go balls to the wall.

«@Cripple I think you are confused with what "D rate" means on take off. "D rate" is "standard" thrust setting procedure for ALL commercial airliners. D rate is 80-90% from full thrust. Basically what you stated in your post. ALL commercial airliners take off at 80 to 90 % from full thrust to save engine wear. Pilots will leave the thrust at D rate for at least 30 seconds after rotate on average before the pilots reduce the thrust to a more efficient level. So what I'm stating is that the pilots will NEVER pull back the thrust that soon after rotate as you stated.»

«Of course, unless there is an engine issue. Then the pilots will reduce thrust to that engine or engines.»

1 +1 Cripple 4 weeks ago

«@Oracle8 Thanks. I had thought that D rate was always min. thrust needed to obtain rotation, always measured by weight, temp and conditions.
That there wasn't a range of min to maximum.
Min done in order to save wear and tear, but mostly to save fuel because the airlines are always trying to save the cost of fuel.

«@Cripple Pilots adjust rotate speed for weight, temp, and conditions. They will NOT change D rate for that.»
