Air India Flight 171 crashed into a crowded neighbourhood in Ahmedabad

Voices in the cockpit fuelling controversy over Air India crash

DELHI — When the preliminary report into the crash of Air India Flight 171, which killed 260 people in June, was released, many hoped it would bring some measure of closure.Instead, the 15-page report added fuel to a firestorm of speculation. For, despite the measured tone of the report, one detail continues to haunt investigators, aviation analysts and the public alike.Seconds after take-off, both fuel-control switches on the 12-year-old Boeing 787 abruptly moved to "cut-off", cutting fuel to the engines and causing total power loss - a step normally done only after landing.The cockpit voice recording captures one pilot asking the other why he "did the cut-off", to which the person replies that he didn't. The recording doesn't clarify who said what. At the...

Australia's toxic algae bloom is 'natural disaster'

SYDNEY — An algal bloom catastrophe which has turned usually pristine South Australian waters toxic green and suffocated masses of marine life is a "natural disaster", the state premier has declared.The algal bloom — a rapid increase in the population of algae in water systems — has been spreading since March and is now twice the size of the country's capital territory.The federal government has unveiled an assistance package of A$14m ($9m; £6.7m) but refused to designate the event a natural disaster - a term usually used for cyclones, floods and bushfires and which would trigger a greater response.Authorities say more than 400 species of marine life have died and local industries are suffering.Algal bloom is naturally occurring but is caused by ocean warming, marine...
