Ahmedabad plane crash:On the afternoon of June 12, a terrible incident shook the entire country when Air India’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft crashed in Ahmedabad within just a minute of taking off. The aircraft going to London, immediately after the flying, was a victim of a major accident due to technical fault. In this accident, 265 people, including about 242 passengers lost their lives, including 12 crew members. Now the National Security Guard (NSG) has recovered the black box of the crashed aircraft, which is expected to reveal the cause of this major accident.
What is a black box?
The black box is actually made up of two important devices –
1. Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR)
2. Flight data recorder (FDR)
The CVR records the conversation of the aircraft’s cockpit, the sounds of the pilots, the sounds of the alarm and all other audio signals. On the other hand, FDR records technical data related to aircraft like height, speed, direction, engine status, thrust level etc.
This device is made of very strong material so that it can be completely safe even after any accident. Its outer layer is made up of titanium or steel and has the ability to tolerate extreme temperature and pressure. The great thing is that it is known as Black Box, but it is of Orange color, which is called ‘International Orange’ so that it can be immediately visible among the debris.
How does the black box work?
‘black box’ There is also an underwater locator beacon (ULB), which continues to send signals for about 30 days even after falling into a sea or reservoir. When an aircraft is a victim of an accident, the first priority of the investigating agencies is to find the black box. Through this device, it is found that what incidents were happening till the accident until some time before the accident. The data present in it is decoded in collaboration with special software, allowing it that there was a technical fault, weather failure or any human mistake.
‘Black Box’ invention?
black boxAlso known as a flight recorder, it was invented in the 1930s. French engineer Francois Hussonot worked on a tool to record the speed, height and other parameters of the aircraft. However, the use of the black box began in the 1950s, when Australian scientist David Warren exposed a thinking of the cockpit voice recorder.
‘Made! Medade! Mede! ‘ What is?
Prior to this accident, a very big emergency message was given by the pilot ‘Mede! Medade! Mede! ‘…
This is a sign of a type of international crisis that is used when aircraft or any other traffic means are in severe danger and require immediate help. This word French word ‘m’aider‘Arrived from, which means’ help’ .. Air traffic control and rescue agencies are alerted on hearing this message, but unfortunately the aircraft pilot was very short to indicate the crisis in this case.
Only one person left in this accident
In this horrific accident, about 265 people lost their lives, while a person named Ramesh Vishwas survived miraculously. He suffered serious injuries, but he is conscious. Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached the spot and hospital on Friday, 13 June. He met the injured Ramesh and inquired about his health and assured him of all possible help.
Former Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was also riding
Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was also present in this aircraft, who also died in this terrible aircraft accident. As soon as this information came out, a wave of mourning ran throughout the political corridors. Tribute messages started coming from all over the country on social media. At the same time, a team of many other dignitaries and a team of doctors was also boarding the plane, who was going to London to attend an international seminar.
What came out in the initial investigation?
According to the information given by the investigating agencies so far, there is a possibility of a sudden decrease in the engine thrust of the aircraft. This means that after the takeoff, the engines suddenly stopped working or their strength decreased, causing the aircraft to have a problem in taking height and fell down. However, analysis of the black box is necessary for the final conclusion right now.
What is the aviation expert to say on this accident?
According to aviation experts, the ‘Black Box’ will play an important role in bringing out the real cause of this accident. If there is evidence of technical fault, this aircraft can prove to be a major warning for both manufacturer and airline. At the same time, if human mistakes are revealed, air traffic control and pilot training processes will be tested.
The Ahmedabad aircraft accident is not only a tragedy but it is also a sign of strictness for the aviation industry once again. ‘Black Box’ is the only support to go to the last bottom of this tragic incident, which will reveal what causes 265 people lost their lives. As the investigation progresses, the clues from the black box will not only know the causes of this accident, but also to avoid such incidents in future, big and required steps will be taken.
