Ahmedabad Plane Crash: 'Both Engines Retrieved And Quarantined,' Says AAIB In Preliminary Report

New Delhi: The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) late Friday published its preliminary report on the fatal Air India plane crash that killed 260 people in Ahmedabad on June 12.

In its 15-page report, AAIB said the wreckage site activities, including drone photography/videography have been completed and the wreckage has been moved to a secure area near the airport.

"Both engines were retrieved from the wreckage site and quarantined at a hangar in the airport," the report said.

"Components of interest for further examinations have been identified and quarantined," it said.

On June 12, Air India's Boeing 787-8 aircraft operating flight AI 171 en-route to London Gatwick crashed into a medical hostel complex soon after take-off from Ahmedabad, killing 260 people, including 241 persons who were onboard the plane. One passenger survived the crash.

It was also the first time that the best-selling wide-body Dreamliner or Boeing 787 suffered a fatal accident resulting in hull loss.

On June 26, a status report of the crash was released by the civil aviation ministry.
