Investigators in India are studying the black boxes of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner after recovering them from the aircraft wreckage to ascertain the cause of last week’s plane crash that left at least 270 people dead.

The tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad has claimed 241 lives, including that of a promising young cricketer, Dirdh Patel. The 23-year-old was among the passengers aboard Air India Flight AI171,

His family will honor him at home before his last rites, following the disaster that resulted in 291 fatalities, including Sabharwal.

Mourning gripped Mumbai as the last rites for Air India crew members Shraddha Dhawan and Saineeta Chakravarti, victims of the Ahmedabad air crash, were performed. Families received their remains after DNA matching.

People haven't still recovered from the horrific incident where 241 passengers, including an entire family of five were wiped out in seconds, and News channels are already flashing reports of two India-bound flights forced to return to their ports of departure due to technical issues.

Investigators recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) - the second black box - from the wreckage, along with a trailing wire from the aircraft’s rear section.

At least 270 died when the Air India flight crashed into the campus of a medical college in Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff on Thursday. Only one passenger among the 242 aboard survived. At least 29 others on the ground, including five medical students inside the hostel, were also killed.

Investigators have now recovered the cockpit voice recorder from last week’s devastating Air India crash and will analyse the pilots’ final words to help determine what caused the disaster that killed more than 270 people.
