The Ahmedabad(Aircraft Accident) disaster is a heart-wrenching reminder of aviation’s fragility.

 





✈️ The Flight and Crew

Air India Flight AI 171, a Boeing 787‑8 Dreamliner (VT‑ANB), departed Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 13:38 IST, bound for London Gatwick with 242 souls onboard—230 passengers and 12 crew members. Commanded by Captain Sumeet Sabharwal (with 8,200 flight hours) and First Officer Clive Kundar (1,100 hours), the aircraft was fully fueled for its long-haul journey 


Timeline of Tragedy

At approximately 625 feet altitude, AI 171 made a distress MAYDAY call, after which transponder signals ceased. Eyewitnesses later reported explosions as the Dreamliner descended back toward the ground a mere 30 seconds post-takeoffThe plane struck a student hostel at B.J. Medical College in Meghani Nagar, crashing into the Civil Hospital campus 


Ground Impact and Immediate Aftermath

  • A massive fireball erupted upon impact, fueled by the aircraft’s full tanks and flaming wreckage 

  • The devastation reached into campus buildings—hostels, cafeteria, and residential quarters—all caught in the crash zone 

  • Rescue operations, including NDRF, IAF, BSF, NSG, local police, fire services, and municipal teams, swung into action within minutes . The blaze was controlled in about an hour, but debris clearance and recovery stretched on for five hours 

Human Toll

  • Onboard: 241 of the 242 people onboard lost their lives; only one survivor, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh (a Briton of Indian descent, seated in 11A), emerged from the wreckage after the fuselage hit the building 

  • On the ground: At least 28 civilians—including students, staff, and a pregnant woman—were confirmed dead; over 30 more were injured 

Notably, among the victims was former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, who perished en route to London to visit family


Survivor's Account

Ramesh described a harrowing escape: seated at an exit row, the fuselage tore open mid-impact. “Everything happened in front of my eyes. I thought I would die,” he recounted. Miraculously, he saw an opening, unfastened his seatbelt, and emerged—as flames claimed the rest 


Investigation & Ongoing Response

  • Authorities recovered the aircraft’s black box, along with preliminary data from its flight path 

  • The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is leading the probe, assisted by Boeing, GE Aerospace, and the U.S.’s NTSB and FAA 

  • Physical evidence and DNA sampling efforts are underway to identify victims; interior configurations—like landing gear status and flap positioning at takeoff—are being scrutinized for clues 

  • The crash marked the first hull loss of a Boeing 787 and the deadliest civil aviation accident in India since 1996 


Leadership and Global Condolences

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi swiftly flew to Ahmedabad, inspected the crash site, met emergency responders and the lone survivor. Government agencies, local and national, pledged relief and support .

  • International leaders—including the UK’s King Charles III, China’s President Xi Jinping, and Pope Leo XIV—expressed condolences; Britain dispatched a team to aid investigations 

  • Business leader Mukesh Ambani announced support for rescue and recovery efforts 


Broader Implications

  • Air India, now under Tata Group, and Boeing face heightened scrutiny; Boeing’s stock fell ~5% following the crash 

  • The DGCA is conducting safety inspections of the airline’s Dreamliner fleet .

  • This tragedy spotlights concerns about aircraft maintenance, pilot training, and the integrity of flight procedures.


What Lies Ahead

  • The official findings from the AAIB, influenced by black‑box data and forensic analyses, will chart the course of aviation safety protocols.

  • Compensation, psychological support, and logistical assistance are being offered by Air India, Tata Group, and host governments to the families of the victims and the lone survivor. The aviation community globally will be eyeing systemic responses to prevent recurrence and to restore public confidence.


💔 In Closing

The Ahmedabad disaster is a heart-wrenching reminder of aviation’s fragility. Lives were lost both in the skies and on the ground—students, staff, families, and venerable figures like Vijay Rupani. Amid grief, resilience shines through acts of rescue, compassion, and collective resolve. As investigations proceed, the focus remains on ensuring safety lessons are learned and sorrow mitigated.

How to choose best battery for my car ? Buy Car Battery in India

There have been loads of battery manufacturers making a walk-in the Indian automotive battery industry. It has been a confusing scenario for the end customers on choosing the best battery for their car. Indeed we hardly had couple of brands in the battery industry few years ago. 
Scenario has completely changed ever since 2010. There have been lots of local manufacturers who have started manufacturing batteries. Sometimes these batteries get a better life than a branded one but it entirely depends on your luck. So it is always better to go for branded batteries than local manufacturers.

The year 2014 has witnessed the walk-in of global battery giants like Panasonic making their mark in the Indian market. We can witness a healthy competition from the top brands across globe eyeing on Indian Automative industry.  So, now we have a handful of battery brands going around Indian lead acid storage industry. 
What battery can I choose for my car and which is the best battery for my car? 
Five main factors to be considered in buying a car battery are 
1. See that the battery has highest CA and CCA rating. 
2. Check for real replacement warranty (Guarantee) not the (warranty*) Pro rata warranty 
3. Analyse the technology used in the battery and how well it will be useful for indian sub condition.
4. Make sure the battery is suitable for Indian climate.
5.  See that your car battery comes with proper manufacturer warranty booklet and Taxed Invoice of 14.5%
You can get in touch with bharat powers retail store who are authorised exide dealers in salem, authorised brand distributor of APC by schneider Electric and panasonic.
For buying car battery offline or there are like online sites like 
1. snapdeal.com - All home appliances including car battery can be shopped.
