Hey there! ✈️ Have you ever wondered how airplanes stay in the sky? They use engines powered by fuel. But what happens if the fuel stops flowing?
Last month, an Air India plane crashed, and investigators are trying to find out why. According to reports, the captain of the plane might have turned off the switches that control fuel going to the engines! 😲
The flight had two pilots: Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, who had lots of experience, and First Officer Clive Kunder. As the plane took off, the first officer was flying. He noticed the captain moved the fuel switches to ‘cutoff’ and asked why he did that.
The first officer was surprised and started to panic, but the captain stayed calm. Unfortunately, the plane crashed soon after. This is very sad news, and everyone wants to understand what happened.
Pilot groups in India are saying that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. They want a fair investigation to make sure we find out the real reasons behind the crash. They are also asking to be part of the investigation to help make flying safer for everyone.
The investigation is still ongoing, and it’s important to wait for all the facts before deciding what went wrong. Remember, pilots train very hard to keep us safe in the sky! 🛫
So, the next time you see a plane flying overhead, think about all the people working to make sure you can travel safely around the world. 🌍
