Something about this crash doesn’t sit rightA Boeing 787 is one of the most advanced passenger aircraft in the world.
It’s built to handle engine failures, weather, and even major system issues.
Yet today, one crashed right after takeoff from AhmedabadWhat’s deeply unusual:
The plane was in the air for less than a minuteIt reportedly didn’t climb beyond 600 feet
The landing gear may not have retracted
No clear distress call was received
The aircraft was fully fuelled for a long-haul flight
This is the first fatal crash of a 787 in commercial service
This isn’t how a modern plane is supposed to behave. Not a 787. Not under normal conditionsSomething serious went wrong either with the aircraft itself, or with the checks before takeoff.
People lost their lives today. Families are waiting for answers. And the aviation system must respond with honesty, urgency, and care.
