It is anticipated that the black box data will reveal important details on the crash’s cause.
“The situation is being treated with the highest severity by the Ministry. Immediately after, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) was called into action. The DG AAIB hurried to the scene right away to assess the situation.” The minister reported that the black box was recovered from the crash scene yesterday at approximately 5:00 p.m. by the technical investigative team working through the AAIB.
He went on to say, “The AAIB team is confident that this black box decoding will provide a detailed understanding of what would have truly occurred during the disaster or in the seconds leading up to the crash. After the AAIB completes its thorough investigation, we are likewise anxiously awaiting the findings or report.”
The minister emphasised safety procedures and post-crash actions, stating that India has a strong aviation safety framework and stringent safety requirements.
