Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

Air India has confirmed that one passenger survived Thursday's airplane crash, which had 242 passengers and crew members on board.

Indian authorities have ordered what they called “extended surveillance” of all Boeing 787 aircraft in the country’s fleet while they investigate the cause of the Air India crash.

Boeing Co. Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg is in a familiar role as he faces another crisis, this time over a crash involving the company’s 787 Dreamliner jet in India.

The crash happened just weeks after the company cut a deal with the U.S. government to avoid taking criminal responsibility for a pair of deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.

The harrowing incident saw the London-bound Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner plunge into a residential area in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, killing 241 passengers on board and another 38 people on the ground. Now, commercial airline pilot and crash analyst Steve Schreiber has pointed to fresh footage as a key breakthrough in understanding what went wrong.
