"Tragedy struck today in southern India as a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner operated by Air INDIA Airlines crashed shortly after takeoff from Bengaluru International Airport. The aircraft was en route to Dubai with 222 passengers and 11 crew members on board." "Eyewitnesses report seeing smoke trailing from the right engine moments before the aircraft lost altitude and crashed into a sparsely populated area. Emergency services arrived swiftly, but dozens of casualties have been confirmed. The exact number is yet to be officially released." "The Boeing 787-8, nicknamed the 'Dreamliner', has been celebrated for its fuel efficiency and advanced avionics. However, the model has not been without controversy. Since its launch, it has faced several technical issues, including battery fires, electrical system faults, and mid-air engine shutdowns." "Though statistically one of the safest widebody aircraft in operation, this incident adds to a growing list of safety concerns surrounding Boeing aircraft in recent years, following the 737 MAX crisis and multiple technical glitches reported across the fleet." "Preliminary investigations suggest a possible mechanical failure or bird strike may have played a role. Aviation experts caution against early speculation, noting that black box data and flight recorder analysis will be crucial in determining the cause." "This crash is likely to reignite regulatory scrutiny on Boeing. Market analysts expect turbulence for the company’s stock and a possible global review of the Dreamliner fleet, especially in regions with high air traffic volumes." "AirVista has expressed its condolences and pledged full cooperation with Indian aviation authorities and Boeing investigators. For now, the aviation world watches and waits as investigators work to uncover what went wrong."
