Ahmedabad Plane Crash: Air India Flight AI171 Black Box Recovered from BJ Medical College Hostel
Air India Flight AI171 Black Box Found! On June 13, 2025, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) recovered the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR), commonly known as the black box, from the rooftop of the B.J. Medical College hostel mess building in Ahmedabad, where Air India Flight AI171 crashed on June 12, 2025. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, carrying 242 passengers and crew, crashed into the hostel in Meghani Nagar, killing 241 people, including former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani, with only one survivor, Vishwas Ramesh (seat 11A). This video covers the black box recovery, its significance, and updates on the ongoing investigation. Watch now to learn more about this tragic crash!
Key Details of the Black Box Recovery:
Recovery Location: The black box was found on the rooftop of the doctors’ hostel mess building at B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad, struck by the plane. It was recovered within 28 hours of the crash by the AAIB, assisted by over 40 Gujarat government personnel.
Significance: The black box, a bright orange device despite its name, contains the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), storing critical data like flight parameters and pilot conversations. Its analysis is vital to determine the cause of the crash, with preliminary reports suggesting a possible bird strike-induced dual engine failure.
Crash Overview:
Date & Time: June 12, 2025, at 1:38 PM IST, ~30 seconds after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
Casualties: 241 of 242 onboard killed (169 Indians, 53 British, 7 Portuguese, 1 Canadian); at least 28 ground victims, including 5 MBBS students and a doctor’s wife.
Survivor: Vishwas Ramesh, seated near an emergency exit (11A), survived and is under treatment.
Impact Site: The plane hit the hostel’s dining area, leaving uneaten food and debris, with the tail section lodged in the building.
Investigation:
Led by AAIB, with support from UK’s AAIB, US NTSB, Boeing, and GE Aerospace (engine supplier).
The black box will be analyzed at specialized labs, like the CVR and FDR Laboratory in Delhi, to extract data despite potential damage.
Misinformation Clarified: Early reports confused a CCTV DVR from the hostel with the black box; AAIB confirmed the DFDR was found separately.
Official Responses:
Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu: Confirmed recovery, calling it a “significant step” for the investigation.
PM Narendra Modi: Visited the site, termed the crash “heartbreaking beyond words.”
Tata Group: Committed to Rs 1 crore compensation per deceased family and transparency in the probe.
Why the Black Box Matters?
The black box is crucial for uncovering why Flight AI171 crashed just 625–825 feet after takeoff, following a MAYDAY call. Theories include bird strikes, pilot error, or mechanical failure, but the FDR and CVR data will provide concrete clues. With 265+ deaths, this is India’s deadliest aviation disaster since 2010 and the first fatal Boeing 787 crash globally.
