# Families Demand Answers in Air India Crash After Preliminary Report
Amid grief, families of the victims of a tragic crash in Ahmedabad seek clarity as investigations yield more questions than answers.
In the wake of the fatal crash involving Air India Flight 171 on June 12, families are left grappling with an investigation that, rather than providing clarity, has deepened their sorrow. One victim's relative, Ravi Thakur, faced unimaginable loss when both his mother and young daughter perished in the tragic incident, highlighting the profound impact of the aviation disaster that took the lives of at least 260 individuals, including nearly all passengers aboard the flight. Thakur, who had been delivering meals to a nearby hospital, is now haunted by questions regarding the plane's failure.
The preliminary investigation report, released recently, indicated that fuel supply was cut off to both engines within seconds post-takeoff, leading to a severe thrust loss before the aircraft even exited the airport’s perimeter. However, the absence of crucial details about how and why this happened has only intensified the anguish for families still mourning their loved ones. In a particularly troubling aspect of the report, a snippet of cockpit conversation suggested confusion about the fuel switch, as one pilot queried if the other had moved it, to which the latter denied.
As families await accountability and further information, the search for answers continues, amplified by their grief and the heartbreaking memory of lives lost too soon.
