Air India A320 stall warning preceded pitch excursion that injured 24, investigators say

An Air India A320 flying from Phuket to New Delhi last month issued a stall warning while the seatbelt signs were off, Indian investigators said. A rapid pitch-up followed by a pitch-down movement threw passengers and cabin crew against overhead bins, injuring 24 people.
