Today, on this anniversary, we offer our heartfelt tribute to all the innocent departed souls. May they rest in peace. 🕯️🙏🕊️

Exactly one year ago, on June 12, 2025, a devastating plane crash occurred , Out of the 242 people on board, 241 passengers lost their lives in an instant. In a miraculous twist of fate, only one person survived—Kumar Vishwas Rakesh. But the tragedy wasn't limited to the sky; 19 innocent people on the ground also lost their lives in the impact.


New update  : 

Indian investigators are expected to delay issuing the ‌final report into Air India Flight 171 citing the need to complete an analysis of the plane's engines. 

A preliminary report released last year showed the 787's engine fuel control switches moved almost simultaneously from "RUN" to "CUTOFF," starving both engines of fuel shortly after the flight took off.

Investigators conducted engine testing in April and visited France last month as part of an analysis of the engine management unit.

Under international rules, a final report is due within a year of an accident; when this is not possible, an interim statement should be issued on each anniversary.

55 years today – The vanishing EC-135

13 June 1971 - a USAF C-135B with 24 aboard disappears somewhere off Hawaii (US). Only light wreckage was found floating in the ocean. Officially, the cause of the accident was never revealed.

Some sources state the likely cause was a structural failure due to modifications in the airframe – seen in the black sections on the front of the fuselage. These conversions had been implemented for the jet´s mission that day, which was to observe French nuclear tests in Moruroa, specifically to "detect and analyze nuclear explosions and their related electromagnetic pulses" (via Code 7700).

The aircraft [Registration 61-0331] was assigned to the 4950th Test Wing, Space and Missile Systems Organization (SAMSO), Wright-Patterson AFB, and was en route from Pago Pago, American Samoa, to Hickam AFB in Hawaii after monitoring the French atmospheric nuclear test Encelade. It is estimated that it vanished some 70 miles south of Hawaii, near Palmyra Island. Of the 24 aboard, 12 were civilians and the others civilian technicians.
