Rescue officials have retrieved one of Air India Flight 171’s black boxes—the flight data recorder—from the rooftop of a hostel building struck during the June 12 crash in Ahmedabad. Flight 171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner flying to London Gatwick, plunged seconds after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Airport, claiming over 240 lives onboard and on the ground—making it India’s deadliest aviation disaster in recent memory. The recovered device will be analyzed by India’s AAIB, assisted by UK and US investigators, to decode cockpit communications and system data, offering vital clues to the crash’s cause. Search efforts continue for the second recorder. (PC: Reuters)
