Air India Dreamliner crashes shortly after take-off

The crash occurred last Thursday when an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner tragically went down shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The aircraft crashed into a residential area near B.J. Medical College, leading to multiple casualties.

According to reports, the pilot issued a ‘May Day’ alert soon after take-off. However, communication was lost when Air Traffic Control attempted to reach the aircraft. On board were 242 individuals, including both crew members and passengers.

In the wake of the crash, the film industry came together to express solidarity and support. Celebrities like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Vicky Kaushal, and others took to social media to offer condolences to the families affected by the tragedy.

Meanwhile, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is coordinating with Indian authorities and will be assisting the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau in determining the cause of the incident.
