India Air Crash
India Air flight 171—traveling from Ahmedabad, India to London, England—crashed less than a minute after takeoff yesterday, killing over 200; the world’s worst aviation crash in a decade.
Video shows the plane, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, with its nose pointed upward while losing altitude; it crashed into a medical college hostel, killing at least five medical students and injuring dozens more. At least one passenger, a British man in seat 11A, survived.
It was the first crash of this model plane, which had been operating since 2011. Boeing stock initially fell 8%.
Investigators from India and the U.K. joined first responders at the crash site to try to determine the cause of the crash, which was not immediately clear. The U.S., Boeing, and GE Aerospace have all promised to help with what will likely be a months-long investigation.
Prayers for all involved. Such a tragedy.
