Not sure of a cause yet.

Minister says black box found at crash site as families await answers

All but one of the 242 people on board the London-bound flight died when it crashed into a residential area in Ahmedabad shortly after take-off.

They haven't even gotten to that yet. It crashed in a residential neighborhood. They only know about the fatalities on the plane right now.

Video is coming out.
The plane crashed into a hospital and residential neighborhood. The fireball wasn't a good sign of a lack of casualties.

The video clearly shows the jet losing power shortly after takeoff. Could be bird strikes or something else wrong with the engines because of it's altitude during the takeoff.

At a guess we are looking at 1,000+ dead/injured from the crash not on the plane.

It's India, so it was probably a 20 seater plane with 220 clung to the outside.

Nope...
One of those shiny new Boeing 787s. Loaded with diplomats, industrialists, and schmuck.

Hopefully one day you guys will grasp humour.

It looks like they still had control but no thrust/power.

Looks like a glide, not a stall.

Right at takeoff it will be fully loaded with fuel, so a huge explosion is expected.

Its a shocking event. No doubt DEI is to blame. Has flying ever been so risky ?

Boeing is down 15 points or so in the premarket today.

Not good news for shareholders at all.
