Breaking news out of India: Authorities at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad have confirmed the suspension of operations following a tragic incident earlier today. According to flight tracking data, an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, bound for London, disappeared from radar at just 625 feet, less than a minute after takeoff. Reports indicate this marks the first instance of a 787 model being entirely destroyed in an accident, a grim milestone for Boeing’s popular wide-body jet.
The latest reports from NDTV, citing the Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation, indicate that all 242 people aboard the aircraft have perished.
Adding to the gravity of the situation, local reports suggest the ill-fated aircraft’s final signal was transmitted just seconds after takeoff, with the pilots reportedly having sent out a distress call before contact was lost.
Eyewitness accounts, captured by other passengers awaiting takeoff at the Ahmedabad airport and shared on social media, depict the horrifying moment the aircraft crashed nearby. These individuals witnessed the devastating blaze of the 787-8.
