While the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released its preliminary report related to the crash of Air India flight in Ahmedabad, the next of kin of the people and crew members who lost their life in the crash feel that deeper investigation should be done to uncover the truth.

Appasaheb Pathak, father of deceased cabin crew member Deepak Pathak of Badlapur, told Sunday mid-day that he would accept the government’s decision. “We are not in a position to comment on the technical aspects of the incident. But our family will never overcome the grief of losing my son.”

“We are not happy with the AAIB’s preliminary report,” said Rafiq Abdul Memon, who lost his nephew and family in the plane crash. “We believe that it’s not the fault of the pilots. It’s not human error but a system error. The pilots are questioning each other about who switched off the fuel switches, which raises concerns about potential technical faults in the system,” he added.
