Crashing with enough fuel to get to London from India. Seemingly crashed into a populated area. Horrific

Lots of videos online of the crash. Seems the plane had no power it just dropped to the ground

Heartbreaking news this morning. Praying for all those on board & on the ground.

Not wanting to jump to conclusions, but wasn’t the 787 Dreamliner subject to lots of issues and the reason Boeing is doing so poorly?

Given my experience out that way, could well be a bird strike on take off

I flew with air India once, and it was one of the most terrifying and frustrating experiences of my life. Aside from losing my luggage, you could see the outside of the plane through an emergency door.
Hope everyone is ok though.

Not looking good. Looks like some kind of engine power loss, or maybe incorrect flap configuration, and the plane had nowhere to go. Poor people on the plane, but also on the ground. At least for the people on the plane, it was probably very quick.

One landing gear down, other up in video?
Power failure – all systems fail.
Very sad

Is it being reported more are the number of plane crashes seemingly increasing?
Feel like they used to be extremely rare but now we get one every few months.

According to local news, at least 52 British nationals were on board.

>According to police, the plane crashed in a ‘civilian area’ outside the airport, and they say at least 242 people were on board. The plane’s final signal was received just seconds after take-off at 10.08am local time, less than a minute after it left the airport.
That’s simply horrific; it’s going to be good news when the death toll is under the thousand mark.

There were 242 person on board the aircraft consisting of 2 pilots and 10 cabin crew.
Aircraft Immediately after departure from Runway 23, fell on ground outside the airport perimeter. Heavy black smoke was seen coming from the accident site.

787s simply do not fall out of the sky. Looking at the video of the crash it looks like the flaps aren’t in takeoff configuration.
No flaps in that heat, trying to generate lift. No hope
