What went wrong? Investigations commence
The cause of the crash is yet to be confirmed. However, it is known that a mayday call was issued shortly after the plane lost all contact with the airport authorities. The aircraft was heavily fuel-laden, which resulted in such a huge explosion.
Ahmedabad Airport has been shut down with all flights suspended for the day. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), and American multinational corporation Boeing are probing together to assess the system’s faults and issues.
TATA has notified that Rs 1 crore compensation will be given to the deceased. Home Minister Amit Shah has reached Ahmedabad to look into the matter. PM Modi, Keir Starmer, the UK PM and other global leaders have conveyed their deepest condolences.
