India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is looking into the Air India crash, aided by U.S. and British investigators, marking a major step forward with the recovery of the flight's black box. Though the flight had 242 passengers and crew aboard, only one survivor emerged from the wreckage—Vishwaskumar Ramesh, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities have begun DNA testing to identify the remains of victims, with reports indicating that many victims were burned beyond recognition. Additionally, Air India has been ordered to conduct enhanced safety checks on its Boeing aircraft.
The investigation's initiation, aided by U.S. and British officials, along with the recovery of the flight's black box, marks a significant development in understanding the incident.
The Civil Aviation Minister emphasized that the recovery of the black box is crucial for the enquiry, providing valuable data to uncover the crash's causes.
Surviving passenger Vishwaskumar Ramesh described his escape from the burning wreckage as miraculous, managing to push open the emergency door despite the chaos.
As authorities work to identify the deceased through DNA testing, reports indicate that only a few victims' remains have been returned to their grieving families.
