The tragic crash of Air India Flight A171 shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad has left over 260 dead, including nearly all 242 people on board and several residents on the ground, after the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner plunged into a residential area. The aircraft had reached only 190 meters in altitude when it issued a mayday and lost thrust, leading to a fiery crash. A black box has been recovered, and investigators are working with Boeing and GE Aerospace to determine the cause. While early theories point to a possible stall, experts urge caution as the investigation continues. Weather conditions were ruled out, and this marks the first major accident involving a Boeing 787. The world mourns the lives lost and awaits answers.
