Experts say the deployment of the ‘ram air turbine’ means total power loss, AI171 likely faced a deadly systems blackout.

32 seconds in the air. Ram Air Turbine deployed. Air India’s new in-flight feature: 🎯 Luck-based survival mode unlocked. DGCA should rename it: “Fly AI171 — Pray every second.” 😬✈️

Glad that the experts although wrong in their first few attempts are now catching on to real issue. The evasive RAT might too be a system failure. The "experts" may comment.
