Air India tragedy comes after firm agreed US justice department payment to avoid prosecution over 2018 and 2019 crashes

The Air India tragedy in Ahmedabad is the first time a Boeing 787 Dreamliner has crashed since the plane’s introduction in 2011.

While airlines using the Boeing plane have had widespread problems with engines on the 787 – resulting in many having to ground planes and reduce flights – its safety record in service has so far been good.

However, the US safety regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has had to investigate several concerns over the years, including a mid-air dive on a Latam flight last year.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand how you can kill 350 people and then just buy your way out of it.

This money isn't even for the victims families, it's a fucking bribe to get the gov to shield them from consequences.

This is wrong on so many levels - fucking executives need to go to jail over this!

If they're not going to be responsible for their fuck ups, Boeing airworthiness needs to be revoked around the world. When they come crashing down over US politicians heads, then maybe they'll learn.
