Air India Crash: 265 Dead, Black Box Recovered

One of the black boxes, the Flight Data Recorder, has been recovered from the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crash near Ahmedabad, which killed 241 of 242 people onboard and at least 24 people on the ground, many of whom were residents of a medical hostel. The FDR, found within 28 hours, will be analyzed in a neutral overseas lab to ensure impartiality in the investigation. Authorities continue searching for the Cockpit Voice Recorder while recovery and identification efforts are ongoing. The only survivor, a UK national of Indian origin, is hospitalized and has been visited by the Indian prime minister. Officials have called for the public to avoid spreading misinformation as the investigation proceeds. This is the deadliest Indian airline crash in decades and the first crash involving a Boeing 787 worldwide.
