The crash of Air India flight AI171 has shaken confidence in air travel and triggered a flood of questions during a recent Independent Q&A.
It was the first fatal accident involving the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, an aircraft that had safely carried more than a billion passengers since entering service in 2011. But on 12 June, just moments after take-off from Ahmedabad, the flight bound for London Gatwick crashed. Only one of the 242 people on board survived. Dozens more died on the ground.
