Air India Boeing 787 Crash in Ahmedabad

An India passenger plane, flight AI 171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, crashed into a medical college hostel in Ahmedabad, India, shortly after taking off for London. The incident resulted in over 240 fatalities, including passengers and people on the ground, making it one of India's worst airline disasters in decades. This marks the first crash of a Boeing 787 aircraft. The crash caused Boeing's stock to tumble nearly 9% before U.S. trading opened. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, along with Charles III, expressed their condolences and offered support to the affected families, including many British nationals on board. Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the crash, with flight data recorders expected to provide crucial information.
