Air India Crash Investigation Takes New Turn as Cockpit Voice Recorder Recovered

Investigators probing the deadly Air India crash that killed at least 270 people have recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), a crucial step in determining the cause of the accident.
The CVR, along with the flight data recorder (FDR), forms the “black box” of the plane, which is designed to survive crashes and provide vital information for air crash investigations.
The London-bound Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed soon after taking off from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport last week, killing most of the 242 passengers and crew members on board.
The investigation is being led by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), with assistance from teams from the US and the UK, including the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
The recovery of the CVR and FDR is a significant development in the investigation, as these devices capture crucial data and audio from the cockpit, including pilot conversations, alarms, and ambient sounds.
The analysis of these recorders will help experts reconstruct the flight’s final moments and determine the cause of the incident.
A high-level committee set up by the Indian government to examine the reasons behind the crash is expected to hold its first meeting soon.
The committee will submit a preliminary report within three months and propose new standard operating procedures (SOPs) to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
As the investigation continues, families of the victims are still grappling with the trauma and pain of their loss.
The process of identifying the victims has been slow and painstaking, with many bodies badly burned in the crash.
Over 90 victims have been identified through DNA matching, and 47 of the identified bodies have been sent to their families.
The former chief minister of Gujarat, Vijay Rupani, was among the identified victims. His funeral will be held with full state honors in Rajkot city.
The investigation into the Air India crash is ongoing, and officials are working to determine the cause of the accident and prevent similar incidents in the future.

Oil Prices Climb as Iran-Israel Conflict Escalates

Oil prices surged on Tuesday as the conflict between Iran and Israel continued to intensify, with no end in sight.
Brent crude futures rose $2.11, or 2.88%, to $75.35 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude gained $1.43, or 1.99%, to $73.20.
The conflict has raised concerns about potential disruptions to oil flows, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for oil shipments.
Although there have been no significant disruptions to oil infrastructure and flows so far, the market remains cautious.
Iran partially suspended gas production at the South Pars field, which it shares with Qatar, after an Israeli strike caused a fire.
Israel also targeted the Shahran oil depot in Iran, further escalating tensions.
Phil Flynn, senior analyst with the Price Futures Group, said the conflict is likely to have a lasting impact on oil markets, similar to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
However, Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen believes the risk of disruption to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz is low, given the potential economic consequences for Iran.
Despite the conflict, oil supplies remain ample, with the International Energy Agency revising its world oil demand estimate downwards and increasing its supply estimate.
Investors are also focused on central bank interest rate decisions, with the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee set to discuss rates later on Tuesday.
