Contamination, particulates, water, or even in some cases other fuel types often settle out by weight.
So if you happen to get the last of the fuel at the bottom of the tanks you might very well draw the short straw. There was a recent incident (on a 330?) where the hardstand plumbing to their gate had been repaired and got contaminated in the process, no other planes seemed to be affected.

From AV Herald, take it with a grain of salt until the FDR/CVR is public…
”It appears on preliminary findings, that there was no error in the cockpit, it appears that as soon as the flight became airborne the power failure occurred leaving the aircraft unable to climb to a safe altitude”
“On Jun 17th 2025 an official, a former Air India Captain trained by the Captain of the accident flight, stated, that the CVR has been successfully read out, the voices on the CVR are very clear. It is becoming gradually clear from the newly emerging evidence that there was probably zero negligence in the cockpit, the crew did not give up until the very last moment. The probability of a technical cause is high. A preliminary report by India's AAIB can be expected in a few days. “
So, when our planes take off out of Indian airports, what guarantee do we have that our fuel isn’t contaminated?
How many times do we need to see post crash speculation turn out to be completely wrong before pilots just wait for the damn investigation to publish actual factual findings?

An anonymous official who flew for the airline and represents AI or is a government regulator? Surely they wouldn’t have any incentive to lie or try to spin the narrative!

All of them. Speculation of why two qualified pilots couldn’t save themselves and their passengers when everything was on the line is normal. Hopefully, we get a honest investigation report concerned with nothing but preventing a future occurrence.
