My condolences to anyone involved.
Ugh. Looks like they aren’t sure what caused the crash yet. How terrifying.
My heart goes out to all of the people and families involved.
Don’t take Air India. Ever. I don’t know why the aviation safety expert was surprised. Airplanes are built with redundancy, but there is a recording from an Air India plane trying to land at the NYC area (I think JFK?). Everything failed. They do not take maintenance seriously
Boeing, but a generally reliable model of Boeing this time.
I’d guess that it broke up in the air based on the description of the debris crashing… but that just raises more questions.

After nearly 14 years of 787 flights, this is the first hull loss and first fatality.
That’s a stellar safety record for any plane.
