Both the CVR and the FDR were recovered—one from a rooftop of the building at the crash site on June 13 and the other from the debris on June 16.Meanwhile, a Bloomberg report citing parallel investigations into the incident by the airline suggested that a dual engine failure could have caused the Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner to crash just minutes after takeoff.At least 260 people were killed when the aircraft, en route to London Gatwick, nosedived minutes after takeoff from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad and crashed into the students’ hostel of B.
