The father of one of the 260 people killed in the Air India crash calls for the perpetrators to be punished.
“We want the investigation to be neutral and the perpetrators to be punished. We have lost what we were destined to lose, but we want no one else to die due to such carelessness.”
A report released yesterday depicted confusion in the cockpit shortly before the crash.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner bound for London from the Indian city of Ahmedabad began to lose thrust and sink shortly after takeoff, according to the report on the world’s deadliest aviation accident in a decade.
The report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) about the June 12 crash raises fresh questions over the position of the critical engine fuel cutoff switches.
Air India acknowledged the report in a statement. The carrier said it was co-operating with Indian authorities but declined further comment.
