Indian investigators are set to visit Seattle for Boeing... lab testing tied to the Air India Flight 132 incident involving Boeing 787-8 VT-ANX. The aircraft, operating London Heathrow–Bengaluru on Feb. 2, 2026, was grounded after pilots reported the left Fuel Control Switch slipped from “RUN” to “CUTOFF.” Officials want Boeing to prove under controlled testing that the fuel switches cannot move on their own — even under vibration, turbulence, electrical faults, or other extreme conditions.

Enhanced video of the moment AI171 crashed appears on... social media and gives a clearer indication that the aircraft's Ram Air Turbine was deployed shortly after take off from Ahmedabad. The new video is sharper and with better audio than the one widely circulated on the day of the accident. The RAT can clearly be heard at the beginning of the 18 second clip. Aviation experts say the deployment of the ram air turbine (RAT) on the Air India Dreamliner that crashed on June 12 is compelling evidence of a catastrophic dual engine failure. The ram air turbine (RAT) is a last-resort device designed to deploy automatically on aircraft like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner when both engines fail or there is a total loss of electrical or hydraulic power. “It’s not designed for an airplane at 400 or 500 feet to lose all power,” he says. “But it gives you the minimum needed to fly and communicate.”show more
