Scientists have uncovered shocking evidence in the Air India Flight 171 crash investigation, revealing that the tragedy may not have been a mere accident but rather a calculated act of sabotage. The aircraft, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, plummeted to the ground just moments after takeoff on June 12, 2025, killing 241 of the 242 people on board and injuring dozens more on the ground. Initial investigations pointed to mechanical failure, but new findings have turned the narrative on its head, suggesting a sinister manipulation of the aircraft’s systems.
Flight 171 departed from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, bound for London Gatwick. Everything appeared routine until the aircraft struggled to gain altitude shortly after takeoff. Witnesses reported a strange humming sound and saw the landing gear still deployed as the plane skimmed dangerously low over rooftops. A desperate mayday call from the cockpit—“thrust not achieved, falling”—was the last communication before the aircraft crashed into a building, erupting in flames.
Investigators initially focused on mechanical failures, but the recovery of the black boxes revealed something far more disturbing. The flight data recorder indicated that the engines had never reached the necessary thrust levels for takeoff, and within 18 seconds of departure, the aircraft’s emergency RAM air turbine deployed—an alarming sign of systemic failure. However, the data logs failed to show any obvious mechanical issues or pilot errors, raising suspicions of a deeper, more insidious problem.
A joint task force of cybersecurity and avionics experts from multiple countries has since identified a coded command sequence buried deep within the aircraft’s software. This command, activated shortly after takeoff, cut engine thrust by over 60%, triggering a cascade of system failures that led to the aircraft’s catastrophic descent. Crucially, this command could not have been triggered by the pilots, suggesting it was either embedded in the system or activated externally.
The implications of these findings are staggering. If true, this incident marks a new era of vulnerability for modern aviation, where sophisticated technology can be compromised in ways previously thought impossible. Investigators are now grappling with the chilling possibility that this was not an isolated incident but part of a larger pattern of sabotage against civil aviation.
As the investigation continues, the aviation industry is left reeling. Families of the victims demand answers, but official statements remain vague, avoiding the term “sabotage.” The silence surrounding the investigation is deafening, with many fearing that the truth is being buried beneath layers of bureaucracy and corporate interests.
What remains clear is that Flight 171 was not just a tragic accident; it was a harbinger of a new threat lurking in the skies. As scientists and investigators dig deeper, the aviation community must confront the unsettling reality that the very technology designed to protect us may have turned against us. The world is left asking: who is responsible for this unprecedented breach of safety, and how can we ensure it never happens again? The answers remain elusive, but the urgency for transparency and accountability has never been greater.
