‘AI 171 lights flickered, turned green before crash’: Air India victims’ lawyer shares new accident theory

More than 160 people were killed earlier this year as an Air India flight crashed mere minutes after taking off from Ahmedabad airport. Multiple theories have emerged in the subsequent months — with a preliminary report explaining that both fuel switches had clicked into the ‘cut off’ position soon after the aircraft departed. Lawyers representing the family of 130 victims have now highlighted a possible glitch with the electrical system and ‘water leaks’ that might have hampered flight operations.
