Nueva teoría sobre el siniestro del avión B787 de Air India

🛩 In June 2025, an Air India plane crash resulted in the death of 241 out of 242 passengers, plus 19 on the ground. The engines failed due to suspected fuel supply issues. Lawyer Mike Andrews, representing 100 families, suggests a technical fault, linking it to water leakage impacting the Fadec computer.
