And that happened almost 40 years after the explosion by a bomb of Air India Flight 182.

You can see in a video that the plane is sticking out of a tall building. I’d be more concerned about the dead people in there.

apparently it landed on a large hospital, that tail is sticking out of a hostel

So, 223 pajeets and 7 Poortugals.

Bound for London and most of the passengers were Indian nationals.

Goddamnit, I need to give my eyes a break because I keep misreading jet fuel as jeetfuel.

 

[The Punished Mitch]

the airliners niggers think 0º flaps (lol got sniped!) - 0º would normally be pilot error, but there could be other fuckery afoot

How is it none of the articles linked in OP (not chastising OP btw -- this was a good & informative post) managed to state what kind of airplane it was?

And as shitty as Boeing's reputation is in recent years, the Dreamliner is (to my knowledge) pretty well-regarded in terms of safety. This is very likely a pilot error kind of situation; 787's aren't nearly as easy to crash as the 737-MAX.

 

[Breadbassket]

AirIndia plane crashed in a residential area. The nearby buildings have caught fire.

Apparently the aircraft fell on top of a medical college hostel.

 

[Jimbobaggins]

Air India's 787-8 can only hold around 256 passengers, so a pretty full flight. Some reports are saying it hit a wall/fence at the edge of the airport. That would suggest having the flaps up as well.

And as shitty as Boeing's reputation is in recent years, the Dreamliner is (to my knowledge) pretty well-regarded in terms of safety. This is very likely a pilot error kind of situation; 787's aren't nearly as easy to crash as the 737-MAX.

This is the 787s first fatal accident

 

[Muad'Dick]

Here is a video that is claimed to be from a passenger aboard the plane.

That video has been doing the rounds for at least a couple of years now and is probably fake.

I saw something about it being old footage so I deleted the post. It's originally from the January 2023 Nepal plane crash.

I've always been suspicious of that clip, but I see it rolled out every time a plane goes down so people can get their upcummies.

 

[Jimbobaggins]

Boeing stock has already tanked over 7% in the premarket trades.


Also Wikipedia fags already have an article up

AP is reporting that this is the first fatality incident involving a 787, which went into service in 2009.

Its first flight was in 2009 but only started flying commercially in November of 2011. Early on the 787 had some battery issues but otherwise its been a relative aircraft. Helps that Boeing builds the 787 in a separate plant in South Carolina. Boeing has a whole shit show going on in Renton and Everett

Some sources are reporting the names of the pilots now. " The aircraft was being flown by Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, a Line Training Captain with 8,200 hours of flying experience. First Officer Clive Kundar, who was assisting the captain, had 1,100 hours of flight experience"

That's horrifying. Imagine minding your own business, cooking some curry while one of your 24 brothers is scamming boomers on Windows XP or shitting in a bucket, while out of sudden you get randomly 9/11'd and your entire world comes to an end.
