US federal agency, NTSB, issued strong rebuke of recent media coverage made over preliminary investigative report of AAIB. NTSB is responsible for the investigation of aviation accidents and significant transportation events in USA. National Transportation Safety Board’s Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy called media reports "premature and speculative". She went on to urge the public and media to await official findings by AAIB before drawing conclusion based on preliminary investigative report. On July 17th, AAIB noted strong appeal to public and media over "selective, unverified reporting" by certain international outlets in aftermath of crash. AAIB reaffirmed, investigation into Air India crash is being conducted in "rigorous and most professional manner in accordance with international protocols”. The Bureau cautioned that the high-profile nature of the tragedy has "drawn public attention and shock”. However, the bureau emphasised that it is not the time to create angst towards the safety of Indian Aviation Industry, particularly on the basis of unfounded facts. The appeal came amid heightened global scrutiny following reports in international media. Wall Street Journal report, cited by Reuters, suggests that cockpit voice recordings indicate the captain may have turned off the fuel control switches shortly after take-off. This might have prompted confusion and panic in the cockpit, according to the WSJ report on AAIB crash preliminary investigation cited by Reuters. AAIB has cautioned against drawing premature conclusions or circulating unverified information, particularly by sections of the international media. The Bureau reiterated that the objective of its investigation and preliminary report is to state "WHAT happened". AAIB further clarified that final report will be published only after investigation is complete, including identification of root causes and recommendations. Preliminary investigative report was released on July 12 on aftermath of ill-fated Air India 171 crash that claimed 260 lives in Gujarat's Ahmedabad last month.
