A: Well, there was a big plane crash in India last month. Over 270 people died, sadly.
B: Whoa, that's terrible! What happened exactly?

A: An Air India jet crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad on June 12. Only one passenger survived.
B: Oh no! That must have been horrific. I heard it hit a dormitory of a medical college too.

A: Yeah, that's correct. The Indian Civil Aviation Minister said they're about to release a report on the incident soon.
B: Hmmm... Seems like they're focusing on the pilot's actions and the fuel control switches on the plane.

A: Exactly! An expert said if there's a problem with the engines, inspections should be ordered for all similar planes.
B: Oh, that sounds serious. Let's hope they find out what caused it soon.

A: Yeah, and they also mentioned the need for 'corrective actions' for any human factors involved in the accident.
B: I see... This is definitely a sad reminder of how crucial safety standards are.
