Not looking forward to Boeing paying racist bot farms to go around claiming Indians are too subhuman to properly maintain their totaly not faulty engines.

Could have been a part that was unmaintained or something. I wouldn't cry wolf before the dust has settled.

NYT headline:

Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner Raised Safety Concerns but Had Never Crashed Before

There are more than 1,100 of the jets in service today. Air India flies nearly three dozen of them.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/business/india-plane-crash-boeing-787-dreamliner-safety.html

Of course I will say that everyone knows Boeing's quality has gone down since the merge with McDonnell Douglas in 1997. But that was 28 years ago...

It does certainly seem like the rate of plane crashes and shoot-downs has been increasing a lot recently.

Another reason to build more trains (which can of course have catastrophic crashes as well, and they also travel a lot slower, and there's currently a lot fewer of them).
