Title: Air India Boeing 787 Carrying 242 Passengers Crashes After Takeoff

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/06/12/1224...

Flying to London, a Boeing 787 aircraft operated by Air India "crashed
shortly after taking off..." reports Bloomberg, "in what stands to be the
worst accident involving the U.S. planemaker's most advanced widebody
airliner." Flight AI171 was carrying 242 passengers and crew. Video footage
shared on social media showed a giant plume of smoke engulfing the crash
site, with no reports of survivors. The aircraft entered a slow descent
shortly after taking off, with its landing gear still extended before
exploding into a huge fireball upon impact. The crash took place in a
residential area, which could mean a higher death toll... The pilots in
command issued a mayday call immediately after take-off to air traffic
controllers, according to India's civil aviation regulator.
