Will sue Boeing if design or manufacturing defect is proved, says lawyer of Air India crash victims

 New Delhi: A year after the deadly Air India plane crash, the US-based attorney representing the families of victims has warned that a similar disaster cannot be ruled out unless investigators conclusively establish what caused the aircraft to go down.

The absence of definitive answers remains a concern not only for the families of those killed in the crash but also for the wider aviation industry across the world, he said.

“Unless the root cause is determined, this could happen again,” Mike Andrews told ThePrint. “If a disaster of this magnitude occurs and every effort is not taken to uncover the technical reason for it, then, of course, this could happen again.”

Several critical questions remain unanswered, he said, cautioning against settling on a single explanation before all the evidence has been examined.

Andrews also cautioned against blaming the pilots—Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder—right away, pointing at the controversy post the release of the preliminary report when speculation around pilot error took centre stage despite the investigation still being underway.
