AI Black box recovered

Investigators Friday recovered a Black box of the London-bound Air India plane from the rooftop of a medical college hostel here a day after it crashed and rammed into the building, as they scoured through the debris for clues to the cause of the worst air tragedy in the country in three decades.
In a major breakthrough, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), without giving details, said the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR), commonly known as the Black box, was recovered from the “rooftop” at the crash site. DFDR will help reconstruct the ill-fated flight’s final moments and is crucial to determining how the disaster occurred.
As aviation experts discussed the possible causes of the crash, including loss of thrust in both engines of the 11-year-old aircraft, multiple bird strikes, or a potential flap issue. Aviation watchdog DGCA ordered enhanced safety inspection of Air India’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet powered by GEnx engines. There are 26 Boeing 787-8s and 7 Boeing 787-9s in Air India fleet.
“The DFDR (Black box) has been recovered from the rooftop,” an AAIB statement said, without giving details. An official said recovery was made from the rooftop of the medical college hostel building.
