Air India crash: Black box data retrieved

Investigators have made headway in the Air India crash from June 12, 2025, which took 274 lives.
Both black boxes—the cockpit voice and flight data recorders—were found soon after the accident, and their contents are currently being analyzed by officials.
This is a big step toward understanding what happened.

TL;DR

Investigation still faces some bumps

Even with this progress, the investigation still faces some bumps.
The AAIB hasn't named a lead investigator yet, which has raised questions about how smoothly things are running.
Meanwhile, most victims have been identified except for one person awaiting DNA results, and efforts to clear the crash site are still ongoing.
