An Air India plane bound for London crashed seconds after take-off in India, killing all but one of the 242 people on board the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It was the first crash of a Dreamliner and the deadliest in years. The plane was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, and Air India had 34 in service with plans for more. The crash occurred shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad airport, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 625 feet before crashing into a residential area. Investigators will look at black boxes, maintenance records, and other factors to determine the cause. While there have been past concerns about Dreamliner manufacturing and quality, experts are unsure if these issues are related to the crash. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg has been trying to move the company past safety and manufacturing crises, but the impact of this crash will depend on the investigation. Boeing has orders for 900 more Dreamliners.
