A month after the worst aviation accident in India in decades, authorities are poised to release a preliminary report into the catastrophe, offering the first official clues to what caused the aircraft to plummet back to the ground just 30 seconds after taking off.

Black boxes from the June 12 Air India crash are intact, says Reuters. Investigators are examining fuel control and engine thrust issues, with preliminary findings expected by Friday. The airline faces scrutiny from Indian and EU aviation authorities.
