A Boeing Dreamliner 787, with 242 people on board, tragically crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad in India, creating a large fireball. While the cause is under investigation and may take months to determine, the incident has already negatively impacted Boeing's stock, dropping over four percent. The event marks the first reported crash of the 787 since its introduction, raising renewed scrutiny on Boeing amidst ongoing controversies from past accidents involving their aircraft and internal turmoil, including worker strikes and layoffs.
Today's crash is the first involving the company's 787 Dreamliner since it was introduced in 2011, according to company data - which will likely lead to plenty of intense and renewed scrutiny.
We are in contact with Air India regarding Flight 171 and stand ready to support them. Our thoughts are with the passengers, crew, first responders and all affected.
