Major Plane Crash Shocks Ahmedabad
A significant aviation disaster occurred in Ahmedabad on Thursday, June 12, leaving the world in shock. The incident was catastrophic, and the identities of the deceased remain unknown. This has raised questions among the public about how an aircraft, typically regarded as one of the safest, could crash just seconds after takeoff. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau of India is currently conducting an investigation into the matter.
International Assistance in Investigation
In the aftermath of the crash, the American National Transportation Safety Board and the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch have stepped in to assist with the investigation. According to the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, the black box from the downed Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner has been recovered by the investigative agencies. The black box was located on the roof of a building within the medical college's residential complex.
The Importance of the Black Box
Although the black box is a relatively small device, it plays a crucial role in aviation safety. It collects and shares vital information about the aircraft during flight. In the event of an aviation accident, it aids in the investigation process. The black box does not interfere with the flight and is responsible for recording data. Modern aircraft are equipped with a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and a Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR), both of which are commonly referred to as black boxes.
