News India Live, Digital Desk: Inside Story of Plane Crash: About 23 years ago, a shocking revelation has now come to light about a terrible Air India aircraft accident in Ahmedabad in July 2000. The investigation report of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has given a description of the conversation between the pilots in the final moments of the aircraft, which can prove to be important in solving the mystery of this tragedy. According to the report, there was an intensive dialogue between the Captain and the co-pilot just before the accident, in which Captain J.K. C. Dhillon heard saying that “I did not cut the fuel!” Really heartbreaking is shocking.
The accident occurred with Air India aircraft (Boeing 737) going from Calcutta (now Kolkata) to Ahmedabad, which took stops in Bhubaneswar and Mumbai. Shortly before the landing, the aircraft suddenly lost control and crashed. A total of 58 people, including 51 passengers and 7 crew members aboard the aircraft, were killed in this tragic accident, while 2 people lost their lives on the land. The AAIB report has clarified that the main reason for the crash of the aircraft was the cut-off of fuel supply, due to which both engines stopped working.
The information revealed in the investigation shows that when the co-pilot A. S. Sony suddenly felt the sound of the engine slowing down and questioned “what is happening?”, Captain Dhillon reacted immediately and reiterated his point, “I did not cut the fuel!”. His reaction appears that the closure of fuel supply in the engine was done without their knowledge or for some other reason. The report concludes that perhaps during the final approach of the aircraft, the pilots had to get the confusion of the location and direction. It is believed that the pilot was probably inadvertently pulled the fuel cut-off liver, causing the aircraft to lose power and hit the ground quickly. This tragedy once again outlines the importance of human factors in the protection of air travel.
