What Really Caused the Air India Flight 171 Crash? There’s been widespread speculation about the cause of this tragic accident—but key clues are already emerging. In this video, a 25-year airline veteran, instructor, and aviation safety writer analyzes the available evidence and narrows down the most likely explanation. We examine early theories including flap misconfiguration, fuel contamination, RAT deployment, and possible sabotage. Then we turn to flight performance data, pilot procedures, and simulator testing to assess the probability of a critical crew error: shutting down the wrong engine during a single-engine failure. With insights drawn from past accidents and 25 years of firsthand experience, this detailed breakdown explains why simultaneous dual engine failure is nearly impossible without a shared cause—and why all signs now point to a tragic but preventable mistake. 🔍 Topics Covered: • Air India 171 crash analysis • Dual engine failure probability • Boeing 787 systems and FADEC • Fuel contamination myths • Flap and gear configuration review • Simulator tests and pilot procedures • Crew resource management failure 📌 Subscribe for in-depth aircraft accident analysis, flight safety breakdowns, and professional aviation insight.
