There was chaos in Ahmedabad, Gujarat on Thursday afternoon, when Air India flight AI-171 going to London fell victim to a horrific accident. A few minutes after the takeoff, the aircraft suddenly lost balance and collided with the building of a medical college located in Meghaninagar area. This Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft had a total of 242 people, including crew.
This accident not only took away the lives of the people on the aircraft, but also took the MBBS students and doctors of the BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad in their grip. The aircraft first hit the mess building of BJ Medical College, after which Atulyam hostels hit the hostel. Senior resident doctors lived in this hostel.
Now the question is, what must have been the cause of this accident? All the discussion is stuck on the same question that what happened is that in just a few seconds this aircraft crashed. Actually, the biggest reason for the aircraft accident is the failure of the engine. Such passenger aircraft have two engines and even if one engine fails, the other engine works and the aircraft remains safe. That is why it is considered impossible in this case that this accident would have happened due to the engine failure of the aircraft.
These are the reasons for aircraft accident
The second major cause of the aircraft accident is bird hitting, that is, if a bird or object collides with the aircraft, the plane gets caught and it crashes. But when this aircraft is falling down, it is not seen anywhere in it that there is a fire in it. Blast occurs after falling down.
The third cause of the accident is technical fault i.e. technical flaw. Now this technical flaw can be anything. By the way, it is thoroughly investigated before the flight take off. And only then does the plane fly. In this case, technical fault is being said to be the cause of the accident, because the pilot had said at the last moment that they are not getting thrust.
There is another reason for the plane accident, which is called Stall in English. This means when the aircraft suddenly starts coming from the air to the ground because its wings do not get enough air to fly up. To take off the aircraft, maximum speed has to be achieved and this speed should be 300 kilometers per hour. Once the plane reaches this speed, then the pilot does not have time to stop again.
Pilot’s mistake also causes aircraft accident
Another cause of the accident would be the mistake of the pilot. The pilot has the most important role in takeoff and landing. Once when the aircraft flew, then in the air, then the pilot runs it in auto pilot mode, but in takeoff and landing itself, the skill of the pilot is required and the most accidents happen at the same time. It seems as if the pilot has not been able to control the aircraft. The aircraft blows into the air and then suddenly starts waving downwards and falling down and turns into a circle of fire. Now this will be known only after investigation what was the reason for this accident.
One lakh liters of fuel was filled in the aircraft
Now many people are also thinking that this aircraft had blown up only 425 feet and crashed. But still why such a large number of people lost their lives in it. The reason for this is the fuel of this aircraft. Actually, there was so much fuel in this aircraft that it had become a flying fire ball. It was Boeing’s 787–8 Dreamliner aircraft, which was to go from Direct Ahmedabad to Gatvik Airport in London. This flight was 9 hours 45 minutes, and during this time the aircraft had to cover a distance of 6800 km. That is why there was complete fuel in this aircraft.
According to the information, the total fuel capacity of this aircraft is 1 lakh 26 thousand liters. And it required about 55 thousand liters of fuel to travel to London. Any aircraft fly with excess fuel, because emergency can come anywhere. Many times it happens that for any reason the aircraft does not get the permission of landing, so the aircraft has to spend time in the air. For this reason, the aircraft takes more fuel than its need. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that it had 1 lakh liters of fuel.
