A combination of words I never thought to see in a serious headline.
[Regnum] Electrical problems due to problems with the water supply in the toilets on board the plane could have been the cause of the Air India plane crash in June. This was reported by the British publication Mirror,citing aviation expert and lawyer Mike Andrews, who represents the interests of the victims of the plane crash.

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.

And see, I didn't even know they had one.
Maybe it's an 'India' thing.
