Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

The Dreamliner crash echoes the catastrophic 737 MAX crashes of 2018 and 2019, which killed 346 people and exposed profound flaws in Boeing's design and certification processes. Ed Pierson, a 737 MAX whistleblower and former Boeing engineer, starkly warned senators last year that:

The event, which runs from June 16 to June 20, is the industry's largest trade show, where many aircraft orders are typically placed by airlines.

Air India plane crash investigators find the first of the "black boxes" from the Boeing 787-8 that slammed into buildings, killing all but one of the 242 people on board.

The fatal accident puts a halt to the planemaker’s recovery following six years of fallout from production and safety woes.
