Authorities in Ahmedabad have successfully recovered the second black box from the Air India plane crash site, as confirmed by PK Mishra, the Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This significant find is expected to provide new insights into the tragic accident that claimed over 270 lives.
The second black box, which contains the cockpit voice recorder, is a key piece of evidence. It is anticipated to reveal detailed conversations and sounds in the cockpit shortly before the crash, thereby helping investigators piece together the aircraft’s final moments.
International Collaboration in the Investigation
International agencies have joined India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) in Ahmedabad to assist with the probe. These experts are collaborating closely with local authorities to:
- Analyze flight data from the black boxes
- Examine the crash site and related evidence
- Assess any potential mechanical or operational failures
Ongoing Efforts Amid Challenges

Authorities are also carefully reviewing CCTV footage and conducting thorough background checks on ground staff and possible security risks to eliminate any theories of sabotage.
Moving Forward
The probe is advancing with urgency, aiming to provide answers to the families affected and the general public. Continued updates will be provided as the investigation unfolds.
