Supreme Court Asked to Probe Air India Crash Details
A new plea has been filed in India's highest court regarding the Air India AI-171 plane crash that happened in June, which killed over 250 people.
The people filing the plea, an NGO, want the court to make all information public.
This includes details from the plane's black box and cockpit recordings.
They believe the investigation should be done by someone independent because they feel the current investigators have a conflict of interest.
They also want the full details made public to ensure everyone is safe when they fly.
A petition seeks full disclosure of the Air India AI-171 crash data.
The crash happened near Ahmedabad airport, killing over 250.
The petitioner claims the preliminary report lacked sufficient details.
An independent investigation is requested due to a conflict of interest.
The petition states that the current inquiry hints at ‘pilot error’.
