Andrews said there was no convincing evidence that the tragedy was caused by pilot error. However, the expert recalled a malfunction in the toilet drinking water supply system, which the US Federal Aviation Administration reported a month before the plane crashed. According to the expert, such a malfunction could have caused a significant decrease in engine power. "Anyone who doesn't have all the data and tries to blame the pilots is speculating, and that's unfair," Andrews was quoted as saying. In an interview with the newspaper, the lawyer said four sources had told him of technical and engineering problems that could have led to the crash. He also added that he was considering filing a lawsuit against the plane's manufacturer. The amount of compensation sought could run into the millions of dollars. Earlier it was reported that sabotage was also being considered among the versions of the crash of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner of Air India. Indian Civil Aviation Minister Murlidhar Mohol noted that in such incidents, both engines of the plane had never stopped at the same time. The crash occurred on June 12. The airliner crashed near Ahmedabad airport almost immediately after taking off for London. When it fell, the aircraft crashed into a medical college dormitory. A total of 274 people died in the crash. | |
