Expert suggests fuel contamination in Ahmedabad crash
A London-bound Boeing Dreamliner crashed just after takeoff from Ahmedabad, with only one survivor out of 242 people on board. Experts now think contaminated fuel might be to blame—the plane couldn't gain altitude even though it had plenty of fuel, and the crew's Mayday call was made, but there was no further response from the aircraft.
TL;DR
Investigators examining black boxes
Investigators are focusing on the black boxes (Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder) to figure out what happened in those last moments. Aviation expert Saligram J. Murlidhar says bird strikes are unlikely since both engines failed at once, pointing instead to bad fuel as a possible cause—especially since the crash ended in a massive fireball.
