The crash of a Boeing 787 passenger jet in India minutes after takeoff on Thursday is the latest incident that adds to woes at the troubled U.S. planemaker.

In a double tragedy, the aircraft crashed into a medical college hostel building, killing at least eight more people on the ground with only one survivor.

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.

Boeing was generating optimism. Then on Thursday a 787 crashed, raising the specter of fresh problems for Boeing and altering the message it planned to send.

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.

Indian authorities have started handing over remains of the victims of one of India's worst aviation disasters after identifying some through DNA tests.
