Hope from the Wreckage: Black Box Found After Air India Crash
Ahmedabad, June 13 — A major step forward has been made in the investigation of the tragic Air India crash that happened yesterday. Officials have confirmed that the black box of the aircraft has been recovered from the rooftop of a building in Ahmedabad2.
The flight, which was headed to London, crashed just moments after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. Sadly, 241 people lost their lives, and only one person survived. The plane, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, hit a residential building, causing a massive fire and widespread damage.

What is Black Box?
The term “black box” refers to a special device installed in airplanes to record flight information. Despite its name, it is usually painted bright orange to make it easier to find after a crash. The black box has two main parts: the Flight Data Recorder (FDR), which stores technical details like speed, altitude, and engine performance, and the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), which captures conversations and sounds from inside the cockpit. This device is designed to survive extreme conditions—such as fire, pressure, and impact—so that investigators can use the data to understand what happened during a flight.

Experts believe the black box will help answer many questions. It can reveal if there were any technical problems, such as engine failure, fuel issues, or control system malfunctions. It can also show how the pilots reacted in those final moments.

The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is leading the probe, with help from international experts and over 40 government officials. The Civil Aviation Minister confirmed that the black box was found within 28 hours of the crash, calling it a crucial breakthrough in the investigation.
As families mourn their loved ones, the nation waits for answers. The black box may not bring back those who were lost, but it could help prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
