Regarding the Air India plane disaster

Moments after takeoff from Ahmedabad airport on Thursday afternoon, an Air India aircraft carrying 242 passengers and crew crashed en route to London. Capt. Sumeet Sabharwal commanded the plane, and First Officer Clive Kundar assisted him.

The Boeing 787-8 flight from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick had 242 passengers and crew members, according to Air India. Among these, there are 53 British nationals, 169 Indian nationals, seven Portuguese nationals, and one Canadian national.

According to three senior wide-body pilots and instructors who spoke to PTI, the engines appear to have been unable to obtain the necessary thrust for takeoff, which led to a disastrous crash into the residential area just seconds after takeoff, as seen in publicly available footage of the accident.
