Boeing has a long road ahead. The latest disaster for the airlines involves Air India Flight AI171 from Ahmedabad, India to Gatwick Airport in London, which crashed after takeoff, causing the passing of 241 people onboard, and others on the ground. One person on the plane survived.
The type of plane that crashed, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, had been the jewel in Boeing’s crown after a rash of problems on some of the company’s other jets. Until this week, no 787 had ever crashed.
Now, as Boeing investigates what happened on that fateful flight, video has emerged from an earlier flight on the same plane, showing a passenger having trouble with the plane’s electronic system.
