An Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, marking the first fatal accident involving this flagship long-haul aircraft. The doomed flight had 242 people onboard, including foreign nationals. Designed for fuel efficiency and long-range travel, the 787-8 has faced a history of safety concerns—most notably battery fires and structural warnings from Boeing whistleblowers. Delivered in 2014, the crashed aircraft was 11 years old. Boeing’s stock plunged nearly 8 following the news as scrutiny intensifies over the Dreamliner program’s long-standing safety issues. br br #ahmedabadplanecrash #planecrash #gujarattragedy #breakingnews #airplanecrash #gujaratairplanecrash #airindiacrash #planecrash #airplanemishap #planecrashlive #ahmedabadnews #gujaratplanecrashnews #gujaratnewslive #ahmedabadflightcrash #ahmedabadplaneaccident #ahmedabadrescueoperationsbr br Also Readbr br Passenger In Seat 11A Survives Air India Crash, Recalls Trouble Began Just 30 Seconds After Takeoff :: br Ahmedabad Air India Plane Crash: Doesn't Look Like Pilot Error To Me, Says Former Boeing Engineer Mirza Faizan :: br From YSR To Rupani: Another Ex-Chief Minister Lost In Aviation Disaster :: br br br ~HT.410~ED.
