1/12 🚨Air India crash ✈️🔥On the crash anniversary, marking the loss of 260 lives, AAIB interim report's delayed as AAIB's trapped in a web of its own making.

It created a relight story based on blackbox data, that's now getting dismantled by engine maker GE's own manuals. @GE_Aerospace @DGCAIndia

🧵So let's look at 12 stories, published over 12 months since last June 12, 2026 - as to the truth of what happened on AI 171

In my piece for @frontline_india, I go into how AAIB implied a simple story & @WSJ ran with it

The story:
08:08:42 UTC - Capt Sumeet “cuts off” fuel
08:08:47 UTC - Both engines N2 fall minimum idle 08:08:52 ETC: First officer Clive moves fuel switch 1 for left engine from CUTOFF to RUN
Engine 1 relight - Engine 1’s core “stops decelerating, reverses and starts to recover”
08:08:56 UTC: FO Clive moves fuel switch 2 for right engine from CUTOFF to RUN
Engine 2 relight begins

But here's the problem.

Once a GEnx core goes below self‑sustaining speed, it cannot restart without power from the APU or live engine.

And AI171 didn't have starter core-spin power.

AAIB report itself admits that:
1. APU was not online. It takes 50-60 seconds to generate power. It's inlet door was only opening at 08:08:54 UTC
2. Dual engine shutdown

So where did the energy for this miracle “recovery” come from?

This then shifts the timestamp of when relight occurred. That it can't be crew-commanded but FADEC commanded. Since as per AAIB report & GE manuals, the relight that happened, where "engine 1 core deceleration stopped, reversed and progressed to recovery." There was no electrical power left on the plane at the 13th and 17th second after takeoff for such a relight.

So this relight could only happen in a timestamp, where the engines were running fast. In a narrow window of 5-8 seconds, when the blades were spinning fast enough for full voltage electricity generation from the engine's generator (PMG).

And it could've only happened if FADEC cutoff fuel at 08:08:45 UTC, under TCMA, when the plane's flight computers (FCMs) were rebooting - sending it temporarily into its default/fail-safe mode i.e. ground mode in air.

And then relight happened for engine 1 and 2 between 08:08:45-50 UTC.

So here's this thriller of a piece, edited by @Aarohanvasanth & @vaishnaroy - where you get an inside peak into the crash; how the plane went into degraded mode on its previous flight - AI 423 Delhi to Ahmedabad.

How 10 years of internal correspondence on crash flight VT-ANB between Boeing & Air India; show Air India like Lion Air getting increasingly desperate dealing with a plane that had recurring issues in power generation, fire-inerter. This story shows how even after a major fire in Frankfurt that led to the plane's grounding -- Boeing remained pedantic in its approach; with short-term fixes rather than dealing with the long term design fix of what was going wrong with the plane's electrical architecture flaw.

To the massive annoyance of Air India engineers, it's advice included usage of "duct tape, donuts & checks for water intrusion" when asked a question on how to deal with the burning of a critical (P100) power distribution panel.

Engineers say this is like the Titanic signalling "Iceberg ahead" warnings & Boeing recommending they wipe the railings for a clean ship.

@AnirudhKejriwal @AswadPune I second this. Even, i was surprised once at the rates of a local barber shop in Mumbai. Gave me a nice and clean haircut in 80. The shop was a non-ac and small but maintained.

I generally do not make posts like this.

But the sheer incompetence displayed by this institution deserves more publicity.

You may have heard the news about the CBSE results and the subpar performance of their on-screen marking system (OSM) forcing students to apply for re-evaluations. However, have you heard about the fact their OSM portal was fundamentally compromised?

Nisarga Adhikary, a 19-year-old *hobbyist* cybersecurity researcher dove into the frontend source code for their platform, and the vulnerabilities he found were appalling.

A master password that enables OTP bypass was just sitting there in the raw JS source code of the frontend, enabling anyone to sign in as an evaluator and modify marks.

Nisarga did the right thing and responsibly disclosed the vulnerabilities several months ago, to multiple authorities, but the majority were never patched. Leading him to go public with this blog - https://t.co/YaSSNazx4Q

CBSE have come forward and claimed that this was just a "test-site", however there is video evidence of the same password being used in the production site to access real data of examiners. Besides, a master password being embedded in the client is a signal for a complete breakdown of proper engineering practices.

Mind you, this isn't some Claude mythos grade genius-level hack. This is something a 14-year-old could find, it is genuinely concerning that a platform that is responsible for deciding the futures of over 4 million students has vulnerabilities of this caliber.

Oh, and btw, he also hacked the production site to play bad apple on it 7 hours ago -

That one neuron connects to about 7,000 others. Your brain has 86 billion of them. Do the math and you get somewhere around 100 trillion connections inside your head. More connections than stars in 1,500 galaxies.

And each connection point is way more complicated than anyone expected. A Stanford lab found that every single connection contains about 1,000 tiny switches that can store memories and process information at the same time. So your brain is running roughly 100 quadrillion switches right now, while you read this sentence.

The wild part is the power bill. Your brain runs on 20 watts. That’s less energy than the light in your fridge. The world’s fastest supercomputer needs 20 million watts to do the same amount of raw calculation. A million times more power for the same output.

We’re still nowhere close to understanding how any of this works. In October 2024, a team of hundreds of scientists finished mapping every single connection in a fruit fly’s brain. Took six years and heavy AI help. That fly brain had 140,000 neurons. Yours has 86 billion. Google and Harvard also mapped a piece of human brain last year, a speck smaller than a grain of rice. That speck alone contained 150 million connections and took 1,400 terabytes to store. The lead scientist said mapping a full human brain at that detail would produce as much data as the entire world generates in a year.

A tiny worm had its 302 brain cells mapped back in 1986. Almost 40 years later, scientists still can’t fully explain how that worm’s brain keeps it alive. Your brain has 86 billion of those cells, each one wired to thousands of others, each wire packed with a thousand switches, all of it humming along on less power than a lightbulb.
