AHMEDABAD, India, June  15, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Investigators in India on 
Sunday recovered the second black box from the London-bound Air India Boeing 
787 that crashed in the city of Ahmedabad, killing at least 279 people, 
authorities announced.

 The cockpit voice recorder has been found, PK Mishra, a senior aide to 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said in a statement. The flight data recorder was recovered on Friday, one day after the crash.

 Only one passenger survived among the 242 travellers and crew on board the 
Air India jet when it crashed Thursday into a residential area of Ahmedabad, 
killing at least 38 people on the ground.

"The AAIB has launched a detailed investigation, and the US National 
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting a parallel probe under 
international protocols since the aircraft is American-made," Mishra said in a 
statement.

  "Officials confirmed that the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice 
Recorder (CVR) have been located and secured."

 Multiple experts have said it is too soon to say why the jet crashed 
shortly after takeoff.
