Ian Kluft ✅✈️🎈🌋"Hundreds feared dead after Air India jet crashes after takeoff" by CNBC - Air India 787-8 crashed on takeoff from Ahmedabad, India on a flight scheduled to London Gatwick. This is the first crash of a 787 Dreamliner. All eyes will be on what cause the investigation finds. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/12/air-india-plane-crashes-at-ahmedabad-in-gujarat.html #aviation #travel #avgeek
Airplanista 🇺🇦@ikluft Boeing stock price down almost 5% on the Air India news. I sure hope they find it was pilot error and not airplane error, the eight-seven is one of my favorite airplanes and is a joy to fly in.
@Av8rdan Honestly by the engineering of the planes, I expected this to happen first with the A350 (which I refuse to fly on), not 787. A crash just after takeoff will undoubtedly point investigators to look early on at proper takeoff configuration and possible bird strike(s) or FOD ingestion.
