28 min - #638 What Really Caused The Air India Crash? Pilots Speak Out | Govindraj Ethiraj | The Core Report
In this episode of The Core Report Special Edition, financial journalist Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with veteran pilots Captain CS Randhawa and Captain Sam Thomas to uncover the deeper truth behind the Air India Boeing 787 crash that killed 260 people.
As global media fuels speculation, this conversation goes beyond headlines. Why was only 2 seconds of the cockpit voice recording released? Could an electronic glitch, not pilot error, have caused the crash? Are authorities ignoring critical safety red flags?
This deep-dive reveals major gaps in the preliminary investigation, the roles of India's AAIB, DGCA, and the US NTSB, and raises serious questions about Boeing Dreamliner systems.
This isn't just an aviation story. It's a high-stakes case of accountability, aviation safety, and what it means for passenger trust worldwide.
Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to The Core Report for in-depth conversations on aviation safety, accountability, and global news. For more expert insights on the Air India crash, Boeing 787 systems, and pilot perspectives, hit the bell icon now. Stay informed with Govindraj Ethiraj and The Core Report.
