The ill-fated Air India Boeing may have had its emergency power systems activated when it crashed and killed more than 270 people last week — according to a new report that comes as the bruised-and-battered sole survivor helped carry his brother’s coffin after his sibling died in the tragedy.
Preliminary findings revealed the London-bound 787 Dreamliner’s emergency power generator was likely running when it plunged in Ahmedabad last Thursday — casting new doubt on whether the plane’s engines were functional during takeoff, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people close to the probe.
The doomed aircraft went down only 30 seconds after taking off for London Gatwick Airport.
