Air Crash Investigation

Air Crash Investigation refers to the systematic process of examining the causes and circumstances surrounding aviation accidents. When a plane crash occurs, experts analyze various factors, including flight data, cockpit recordings, aircraft maintenance records, and eyewitness accounts. The goal is to determine what went wrong—be it mechanical failure, human error, or environmental factors—and to prevent similar incidents in the future. Investigations are conducted by specialized agencies, such as the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in the U.S., and their findings lead to recommendations for improving aviation safety standards globally.
