Air India Crash: Attorney Investigates Possible Boeing 787 Defects
An attorney representing families of the Air India crash in Ahmedabad is looking into possible causes of the disaster.
He says that documents from the FAA and Boeing suggest there might have been problems with water systems that could have caused electrical problems on the Boeing 787.
The attorney is trying to find out if these problems played a role in the crash.
The families want to know what happened, why it happened, and how to prevent it from happening again.
They are also not satisfied with the preliminary report released by the investigation board, saying the limited information released could be misleading.
Attorney Mike Andrews, representing 85 families of the Ahmedabad Air India crash victims, discusses potential causes of the crash.
Documents from the FAA and Boeing suggest defects in water supply and tank coupling systems near electrical equipment on the Boeing 787.
Andrews is investigating whether manufacturing or design defects contributed to the crash, with a focus on electrical continuity issues.
Andrews says families are seeking transparency, accountability, and information on preventing future incidents.
Andrews criticizes the AAIB's preliminary report, suggesting it is open to misinterpretation due to the limited information released.
