Overview

• The Boeing 787 bound for London crashed shortly after liftoff from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Airport on June 12, killing most of the 242 on board as it struck a nearby residential area.
• Flight data show the jet began its takeoff roll only 1,900 meters down the 3,505-meter runway before attempting to rotate.
• Investigators are examining whether nonconforming fuselage components, previously flagged in an Italian probe, contributed to structural failure.
• Boeing’s stock plunged about 8% in premarket trading as investors weighed new safety concerns following prior model issues.
• At least one passenger was rescued alive, and Boeing has committed to full cooperation with the ongoing inquiry.
