‘International media reports on Air India crash are irresponsible’: Investigator asks to wait for final investigation result; asks to refrain from spreading premature narratives | India News
The Air India crash investigator called out the international media for “selective and unverified” reporting on the Air India crash and said that such actions are “irresponsible.“This came after American publication “Wall Street Journal” claimed that a cockpit recording of dialogue between the two pilots of the Air India flight that crashed last month indicates the captain cut the flow of fuel to the plane’s engines“It has come to our attention that certain sections of the international media are repeatedly attempting to draw conclusions through selective and unverified reporting. Such actions are irresponsible, especially while the investigation remains ongoing. We urge both the public and the media to refrain from spreading premature narratives that risk undermining the integrity of the investigative process,” the AAIB said in a statement. “The purpose of the AAIB’s investigation and preliminary report is to provide information about ‘WHAT’ happened. The preliminary report has to be seen in this light. At this stage, it is too early to reach to any definite conclusions. The investigation by AAIB is still not complete. The Final Investigation Report will come out with root causes and recommendations,” it added. AAIB appealed to all concerned to await publication of Final Investigation Report after completion of the Investigation. AAIB will also publish updates as and when required which have technical and public interest.This is a developing story
