Investigators would examine theories surrounding the crash.
K Rammohan Naidu, Civil Aviation Minister, recently informed that investigators would examine all circulating theories surrounding the crash. He emphasized that aircraft are complex machines and determining the exact cause, or combination of causes, requires a thorough and meticulous investigation. The video of the deadly crash, spread across the internet, was shot by a Class 12 student, Aryan Asari.
An officer said that Air Traffic Control (ATC) records, reviewed by the Gujarat Police, indicate the aircraft may have taxied at least 300 metres farther than usual on the runway. He added, “It took off at 1.38 pm and just after a minute, around 1.39-1.40 pm, the pilot sent out a ‘No thrust… May Day…May Day’ message, following which communication was lost and a crash was heard.”
