What caused the Air India plane disaster? Six main theories emerge – from mystery over landing gear to 40C weather
WHILE the exact cause of the horrific Air India crash is not yet known, speculation continues to swirl online.
One of Flight AI171’s two ‘black boxes’ has reportedly been recovered, which should start to provide crucial evidence on the fatal five minutes between the plane’s takeoff and impact.
The black box will provide technical information on details like time, airspeed, altitude and hearing.
However, the cockpit voice recorder may also offer vital insights such as any conversation between the two pilots, any engine noises or bangs, stall warnings or sounds of other equipment.
The crash killed at least 265 people, including those on board and locals on the ground.
As crash investigators begin to pour over that data, The Sun looks at six main theories currently posited as potential causes for India’s worst ever aviation disaster.
Bird strikes
A bird strike could have taken out both of the jet’s General Electric engines.
While a bird taking down something the size of a commercial airliner might sound fanciful, there are numerous examples.
Most famous was US Airways Flight 1549, which suffered double engine failure in 2009 after being hit by a flock of Canada geese shortly after taking off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport.
The plane, captained by Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, was forced to make an emergency landing in the Hudson river – earning the tagline the “Miracle on the Hudson” since there were zero casualities.
Ahmedabad Airport is known to have a large avian population – a study in 2018 found the airport has “a high potential of bird-aircraft collision hazards”.
Captain C S Randhawa, who has flown a Boeing 777 for 15 years, and was the former Deputy Chief Flight Inspector, Operations, at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, said a bird strike was “the most probable” cause of the crash.
“Both Ahmedabad and Agra airports are full of birds. Incidents of aircraft being hit by birds keep happening on and off,” he told The New Indian Express.
Aviation safety consultant and instructor Captain Mohan Ranganathan told the same publication: “Bird hit appears to be the reason as of now.
“Ahmedabad airport has a history of a huge bird population. I flagged this issue 17 years ago and have written extensively about it too.”
Captain Ranganathan claims that the birds are drawn to the slaughterhouses near the airport
He added: “The reason for such a huge presence is due to slaughterhouses in the vicinity of airports which should never have been allowed.
“They are never relocated by the authorities because they are owned by politicians or their relatives.”
In January 2021, an identical plane to the one involved in Thursday’s crash aborted a take-off in Mexico after birds flew into one of its engines.
Wing Flap Position
Aviation experts have suggested that the position of the aircraft’s wing flaps could have played a role in the disaster.
Video evidence suggests the flaps were fully retracted, which would have provided minimal lift.
The aircraft’s landing gear also remained deployed throughout which would have increased potentially fatal drag.
One theory is that the landing gear was stuck and pilots retracted the flaps to reduce drag or that the flaps were faulty and caused the plane to stall.
Aviation expert Terry Tozer, author of Confessions of an Airline Pilot, told the BBC: “It’s very hard to say from the video for sure, it doesn’t look as if the flaps are extended and that would be a perfectly obvious explanation for an aircraft not completing its take-off correctly.”
Marco Chan, a former pilot and a senior lecturer at Buckinghamshire New University, said: “That would point to potential human error if flaps aren’t set correctly, but the resolution of the video is too low to confirm that.”
Pilot error
The state-of-the-art Boeing 787-8 is highly automated, with human pilots making only key decisions – but human error cannot be ruled out.
Co-pilot Clive Kundar had more than 1,000 hours of flying experience and made the mayday call but Captain Sumeet Sabharwa at the helm had 8,000 hours – making him one of Air India’s most experienced pilots.
Sabharwa was also a trained instructor, meaning he had a deep understanding of flying protocol.
Estimates suggest the amount of runway utilised by the pilots was less than 2,000 metres – when a full plane on a hot day usually needs a run of 2,500 metres.
Additionally, since the wing flaps are also set by the pilots before takeoff, with multiple checklists and procedures in place to ensure that they are positioned correctly, that could also be another source of human error.
Heat
Planes get less lift on a hot day due to lower air density, and therefore they need to go faster to get as much lift as on a cooler day.
Flight AI171 took off in sweltering 40°C heat in the early afternoon sunshine.
The plane may have struggled to gain lift if it took off after a short runway take-off.
In his emergency mayday call, co-pilot Clive Kundar says “No thrust, losing power, unable to lift.”
Technical Error
Catastrophic technical or engineering issues have not been ruled out.
The jet’s complex design mean it could take months for a design or engineering fault to be pinpointed.
The Dreamliner has a spotless safety record – this is the first time the model has crashed since its introduction in 2011.
However, airlines using the Boeing plane have reported numerous issues with the engines, including a mid-air dive on a LATAM Airlines flight last yeear.
During hearings in Washington last year, a former Boeing engineer turned whistleblower urged the aerospace giant to ground all Dreamliners.
However, the aircraft manufacturer rejected the claims and said it had full confidence in the 787.
Overloading
The aircraft could also have been too heavy to take-off.
Danger of overloading could be increased – again – by adverse wather conditions caused by extreme heat.
But the weight of aircraft is usually carefully checked ahead of take-off and the theory is thought unlikely.
I delved into world of ‘righteous slaughter’ school shooters & chilling psychological cocktail that drives them to kill
PICTURED staring intensely into the camera lens while cuddling his beloved cat, he looks just like any other young teen.
But between dropping out of sixth form and turning 21, something dark grew in the mind of student Artur A – the man responsible for a shooting spree at his old school in Austria.
On Tuesday, that festering resentment saw him walk into two classrooms at BORG Dreirschutzengasse high school in Graz and open fire with a Glock pistol and a shotgun.
Today 10 families are mourning his victims, mostly teenagers who had their whole lives ahead of them before they were gunned down in cold blood.
Lea Ilir Bajrami and Hana Akmadžićis, both 15, were among the six girls and three boys between 14 and 17 to be killed along with a 59-year-old teacher.
Yet those grieving might never know the exact reason why their loved ones were murdered.
School shootings are on the rise globally.
In America, there were 83 school shootings last year compared to 36 in 2014.
While shootings remain rare in Europe, analysis by The Sun shows 83 people have been shot dead in classrooms across the continent since Britain’s worst atrocity at Dunblane Primary School in 1996.
Thirty four of the victims were killed in the last two years following three major attacks, including this week’s.
The lone-wolf nature of perpetrators means there are often no warning bells.
Eminent criminologist Professor David Wilson told The Sun: “The motivation can be a desire for notoriety, for revenge or perhaps because the perpetrator has been radicalised in some way.
“School shooters are often isolated from their peer groups, from the community in which they live and often have troubled relationships with their immediate family. Some will have a personality disorder or other underlying mental health issues.
“The 64,000 dollar question is whether it’s nature or nurture. For me, it is a messy combination of the two.”
‘Justified’ in killing
Artur A, who killed himself in the school’s toilets, is said to have been badly bullied by fellow pupils before leaving sixth form without qualifications. He was only known to police as a victim of pick-pocketing.
In a “farewell letter”, he reportedly said goodbye to his parents and framed himself as the victim of bullying, reports Krone.
He is also said to have recorded a video and sent it to his mum, speaking about the imminent atrocity, saying he was acting “of his own free will” and asked her to look after his cat.
Police later discovered a disassembled pipe bomb at his home.
Professor Wilson says shooters often convince themselves that killing others is somehow justified.
He said: “There’s very often a sense of righteous slaughter, they feel somehow justified in doing what they have done because they feel entitled to behave that way.
“There’s a cocktail of factors unique to each shooter that prompts them to do what they do, but the key message is that these incidents only happen in countries which have liberal gun laws.”
Handguns were banned in Britain following the Dunblane massacre in 1996 when killer Thomas Hamilton stormed into a primary school, killing 16 children and their teacher.
Hamilton, 43, opened fire on a class of 29 five and six-year-olds before turning the gun on himself after becoming obsessed with revenge over rumours spread locally that he was a pervert.
Professor Wilson said: “Hamilton was a very different type of shooter in that he hadn’t gone to the school but wanted to take revenge on a community.”
Columbine massacre
Analysis shows that bullying is a huge driver in school killings.
A study by the US Secret Service National Threat Assessment Centre reveals that seven in 10 classroom shooters are under the age of 18.
It analyzed the behaviour of 35 attackers and found 80 per cent had been bullied by classmates with more than half the bullying lasting for weeks, months or years.
America’s most infamous school shooting was Columbine in Colorado in 1999 when 18-year-old Eric Harris and 17-year-old Dylan Klebold killed 13 students and a teacher before taking their own lives.
Both killers bore a grudge after being bullied and excluded from the cliques at high school, with Harris writing in his journal, “I hate you people for leaving me out of so many fun things” and Klebold writing “The lonely man strikes with absolute rage.”
The deadliest came in 2007 when student Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 and wounded 17 others with two semi-automatic pistols at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Cho, 23, was diagnosed with selective mutism and depression. A judge had previously declared him mentally ill and ordered him to attend treatment after he stalked two female students.
Yet, he was allowed to buy weapons because he had not been institutionalised.
Five years later, 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot dead 20 children aged between six and seven and six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
The US has seen a tenfold rise in incidents involving guns in schools over the last 25 years, from 31 in 2000 to 332 last year. Nine of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the US occurred after 2007.
Jaclyn Schildkraut, executive director of the Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium at the Rockefeller Institute, says a rise in “life stressors” such as hardships related to finances, employment, family and relationships drove some to “act out or respond violently”.
She added that “toxic masculinity” has contributed to the steep increase.
“If we are trying to understand the root causes of gun violence, we need to start by understanding why people pick up firearms in the first place to inflict harm, regardless of the target of that harm,” she said.
Robin M.Kowalski, a psychology professor at Clemson University in South Carolina, studied shootings in school and colleges and found that the majority of perpetrators are white with a median age of 15, feel marginalised or bullied and use the events to take their own lives.
She says they are likely to have a history of psychological problems, suffer long-term or acute rejection, such as a break-up, and often have a fascination with guns and violence.
“The individuals behind the Sandy Hook and Columbine shootings, among others, had been diagnosed with an assortment of psychological conditions,” Kowalski wrote for the Brookings Institution.
Death toll rising
While school shootings are still unusual in Europe, the death toll is high.
In May 2023, 13-year-old Kosta Kecmanovic gunned down eight of his fellow pupils and a security guard at his school in Belgrade after drawing up a ‘hit list’.
In a chilling postscript, Serbian police arrested ten teenagers in the week after the massacre after they posted plans for similar attacks on fellow pupils.
Months later in the Czech Republic, postgraduate student David Kozak murdered 14 at Charles University in central Prague. He had previously dropped out of education.
Earlier this year, Sweden suffered a tragedy when a gunman opened fire at an adult education centre, killing 10 students before turning the gun on himself. Shooter Rickard Andersson, 35, was a society drop out who had previously applied for a maths course at the centre before leaving the course in 2021.
While there is no comparison data with America, research by the Rockefeller Institute of Government shows the US had suffered “more public mass shootings” than countries with similar levels of economic development.
According to their study, 109 shootings were recorded in the US between 2020 and 2022, compared to six in France, five in Germany, three in Finland and two in the UK, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden during the same period.
These figures reflect the severity of gun laws in different countries.
According to the Small Arms Survey, there are an estimated 120.5 civilian firearms per 100 people in America. In contrast, the figure is 4.6 in England and Wales, 19.6 in France and Germany, 30 in Austria and 391 in Serbia.
Prince William’s polo pal dies ‘after swallowing bee’ during match as tributes flood in
PRINCE William’s polo friend has died after reportedly swallowing a bee during a match triggering a fatal heart attack, it is claimed.
Indian-born billionaire Sunjay Kapur, 53, collapsed during the match in England yesterday – hours after he’d paid tribute online to the victims of the Air India tragedy.
Sources told Indian media the bee stung Kapur in his mouth before he suffered anaphylactic shock that caused his heart to stop.
Medical experts say internal stings can prove deadly, particularly if a person has an undiagnosed allergy.
Kapur’s exact cause of death is still being investigated.
A well-known figure on the polo circuit in the UK and India, the late entrepreneur rubbed shoulders with the royals, including the Prince of Wales.

The Sun travels to three cheapest Ryanair destinations this month – but which one was REALLY the best value overall?
FOR a cheap jaunt to Europe, Ryanair is first in line for a bargain break – with flights sometimes as low as £11 each way.
But what if low-priced flights sometimes end up costing you more, arriving at the destination only to spend a fortune on food and activities when you’re there?
The three cheapest places you can fly to on Ryanair this month are Milan, Belfast and Gdansk.
We asked three The Sun writers to spend the day exploring each city to find out how much the entire trip costs once you’ve bagged the bargain flight.
From cheap pizza to £5 pints, the results are in – and you may be surprised to find out which break was best for your budget…
Milan, Italy
Bex April May flew to Milan Bergamo from London Stansted for £30 return.
Milan may be a designer capital of the world, and while it may have its fair share of daft designer prices, you can have a fantastic time here on a budget.
I travel here at least once a month, and as editor of The Luxe Review, I’ve cracked the code on how to enjoy this stylish city – without breaking the bank.
Forget splashing £20 on a sad sandwich by the Duomo – Milan’s tastiest food is hiding in plain sight.
Our first stop is Panzerotti Luini (Via Santa Radegonda), a hole-in-the-wall spot just behind the cathedral, famous for its deep-fried pockets of cheesy heaven.
A piping hot, freshly made panzerotto will set you back just £2 – though you’ll probably want to return for even more.
The stunning Galleria Vittorio Emanuele (Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II), right beside the Duomo is a must-see.
But, instead of wandering into the upscale restaurants by its entrance, take the lift up to the sixth floor and head to I 12 Gatti (The Twelve Cats), a rooftop pizzeria tucked above the Galleria.
Their £10 aperitivo deal gets you a drink, and a huge Italian tagliere (meat and cheese board) for each person.
It’s the best bargain rooftop terrace in Milan.
You can’t go to Italy and not eat pizza. For cheap and tasty slices around town Pizza e Mozzarella Milano (Via Carlo Torre) serves up flesh, fluffy Margheritas for around £4.25.
An espresso at an everyday cafe in Milan will generally only set you back £1 – while a glass of wine or beer is around £4.
If you are after a cheap tipple, historic standing bar, Cantine Isola (Via Paolo Sarpi), a century‑old staple in Chinatown – serves up even cheaper wine by the glass, at around £2-£3, with buzzy, if not slightly chaotic vibes.
No trip to Italy is complete without an Aperol Spritz in the sun so I took a stroll along the Navigli canals, where rows of buzzing outdoor cafés line the water.
Stop at Spritz Naivligi (Ripa di Porta) where you can sip a cocktail and tuck into a generous sweet and savoury aperitivo buffet as part of their evening Happy Hour – all for just £9.
Believe it or not, dinner is the biggest bargain in Milan.
A delicious bowl of fresh pasta, such as a Rigatoni alla Norma, starts at £8 from fab people-watching spot Navigilio 48 (Alzaia Naviglio Grande), grab a table and enjoy the show.
That’s your evening sorted, Italian-style.
Best of all, some of the most beautiful things to do in Milan are totally free.
Wander the canals of Navigli. Take in the majesty of the Duomo and the golden Madonna on top and chill out in the city’s beautiful Parco Sempione, behind Sforzesco Castle – all without spending a penny.
Milan might be stylish, but if you know where to go, you can enjoy Primark prices in a Prada World.
Milan’s cheap checklist:
- Getting from the airport: A bus from the airport to the centre of Milan is £10 each way
- Lunch: £4.25
- Cup of coffee: £1
- Glass of Beer: £4
- Dinner with wine: £12
- Best free activity: A stroll through Navigli
- TOTAL: £41.25
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Eimear O’Hagen flew from Edinburgh, Scotland to Belfast, Northern Ireland for £31 return.
I may have lived away from Belfast for over twenty years, but it will always be home to me because of the warm welcome and friendly atmosphere.
Whenever I get the chance to get back there for a visit, I grab it, so I’ve almost become a ‘local’ expert again.
Whether it’s visiting my old haunts or discovering new ones, Belfast always delivers.
I love that it’s now a buzzing destination and perfect for a city break.
As it’s grown in popularity, so has the perception that Belfast must be an expensive place to visit.
However, if you know where to go, parts of the city still offer a great time on a budget.
Getting from the airport is easy, and since it was the weekend, we headed straight to St George’s Market.
This place really showcases the personality of the city with live music, food and craft stalls to peruse, and a buzzy, friendly atmosphere.
As well as being a cool and colourful spot, St George’s Market is a historic building that has been home to a market at weekends since 1604.
Better still, lunch is sorted with huge potato bowls from one of the stalls, Tapitas.
A generous portion of patatas bravas is topped with a chorizo skewer and pork belly bites for only £11.
However, if it’s your first time to Belfast, it’s almost compulsory to try the Ulster Fry at Maggie May’s, in the city’s university area.
The all-day “Bumper Fry” will only set you back £11 and is a proper Irish breakfast/brunch that will keep you going for hours.
After a good feed, we headed off to explore Belfast on foot, which is the best way to see it.
If you just want to go for a wander and see if a particular bar or restaurant takes your fancy, the Ormeau Road and Botanic area as well as the Andersonstown and Falls Roads often offer a cheaper alternative to the more touristy city centre and Cathedral Quarter.
From here, Belfast’s beautiful Botanic Gardens offer a step away from city life and are completely free of charge.
You can also explore Belfast’s historic waterfront area for zero pennies by doing the maritime mile walk, which includes iconic locations from Game of Thrones too.
Stop at Paper Cup on the route for a £2.50 coffee to take along with you.
If you plan on spending more than one day in Belfast, I highly recommend taking a £5 train to the beach.
Holywood Beach, or ‘Sea Park’ as the locals call it, is only 15 minutes by train and is a beautiful spot on the coastline for a stroll and a paddle on a sunny day.
Back in the city, I stopped in for some Irish charm at the American Bar at the docks.
It’s a favourite of mine for a great atmosphere and live music, plus a pint of Guinness is only £5.50.
Or if wine’s your tipple, at The Pavilion on the Ormeau Road a ¼ bottle of rose will only set you back £5.20.
While some restaurants in Belfast’s tourist areas have a reputation for being inauthentic and overpriced, Kelly’s is a local institution.
This is one of the oldest pubs in Belfast, dating back to 1720, and about as proper an Irish pub you’ll get.
They only serve one thing – Irish Stew – and it’s really good. Tuck into a hearty bowl with a wedge of fresh warm bread for just £7.20.
You’ll leave feeling like a local yourself.
Belfast’s Cheap Checklist:
- Getting from the airport: A return bus ticket from Belfast International Airport to the city centre costs £13.50.
- Lunch: £11
- Cup of coffee: £2.50
- Glass of Beer: £5.50
- Dinner with wine: £12
- Best free activity: An afternoon on Holywood Beach
- TOTAL: £42.50
Gdansk, Poland
Helen Wright flew from London Stansted to Gdansk, Poland for £29.
Finding a cheap city break and spending as little as possible while I’m there is one of my special skills as a travel writer.
I love living in the UK and being able to explore Europe so cheaply and easily.
But, if you don’t do your research, a cheap flight can lure you in and end up costing you a fortune in food, drink and accommodation.
Gdansk, Poland, is definitely not one of those places.
Flights to Gdansk on Ryanair are always cheap and the city is beautiful, easy to explore, and inexpensive.
If you’ve never been, it’s the ideal city for a short break – everything is cheap.
I start off with a walk through Gdansk Old Town and along the historic Mariacka Street, which is one of the oldest streets in the city.
You’ll be surprised by the architecture, which looks more like a fairytale village in Scandinavia than a Polish city.
Along Mariacka street, there are lots of cafes and bars, so I stop off a Cafe Kamienica for a £1 coffee on the sunny balcony.
From here, it’s a short walk to the Waterside Area which is lined with bars and restaurants but you’ll pay extra for the sprawling patios and the river views.
Instead, head into the Main City and grab a table at Pierogarnia Mandu, a modern restaurant that serves traditional pierogi, Polish dumplings.
My favourite is the chicken, dried tomatoes and feta cheese pierogi, served with paprika-olive sauce and you get a huge bowl for £8.
If you have kids with you, they also do a cheeseburger dumpling, which was a hit with my four-year-old.
If you’d rather eat-while-you-walk, Ketili Puri is a Georgian bakery that sells the most delicious pastries to go.
Pick up the khachapuri, creamy cheesy bread.
For only £3, two people could share this for a tasty snack as you stroll in the sun.
My top tip is to go to Gdansk Sunday to Tuesday if you can. This is because museums in the city are free on Mondays (some are free on Tuesdays).
While fantastic museums like the European Solidarity Centre and the Museum of the Second World War are not expensive to enter anyway, you can get your culture fix without spending anything if you go at the start of the week.
By now, it was time for a drink. Beer and wine in Poland is typically cheap and surprisingly good.
Pull up a stool at Red Light in Chlebniczka, hidden on a backstreet between Piwna and Dlugaand, and sample the local bottled beer.
Usually packed with locals, this kooky bar has a great atmosphere with a small dancefloor in the basement and a mismatch of seating upstairs.
They also sell coffee if you’re not ready to booze.
Despite being a small city, there is something around every corner here.
A look at the beautiful Neptune’s Fountain is a must since it’s one of the most distinctive landmarks of the city.
The fountain is located at the Długi Targ, in front of the entrance to the Artus Court.
This area is usually buzzing with people, buskers and street performers.
My top spot for dinner is Mono Kitchen. This is a modern space, frequented by trendy hipsters, tourists and local old-timers who come for the air con as much as the great lunch deals.
It’s a fantastic place to sit and people watch, too.
Dinner was a bargain with three courses, a glass of Prosecco or a cocktail for only £20.
The food is beautifully presented and definitely feels fancier than the prices suggest.
A meal here is half the price of the tourist traps along the river, but it’s only five minutes away so you can walk it all off by the water, which is beautifully illuminated and looks stunning after-dark.
Gdansk Cheap Checklist
- Public bus to Gdansk £1.40 or taxi is £15 each way (20 mins)
- Lunch: £8
- Cup of coffee: £1
- Glass of Beer: £3
- Dinner and a drink: £20
- Best free activity: A stroll along the waterfront
- TOTAL: £67
So if you’re after a cheap getaway in Europe this summer, a flight to Milan to enjoy Aperol Spritz and a fresh plate of delicious pasta is certainly a good idea.
