What FACTLY found
The viral audio is not from the Air India crash. It has been available online since 2009 and is linked to a different flight (N9851L), with no connection to the AI 171 incident. The reports confirm that while both black boxes from AI 171 have been recovered, no audio has been released so far.
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
