Air India's Chairman N. Chandrasekaran on Monday told staff that last week's plane crash that killed at least 271 people should be a catalyst to build a safer airline, urging employees to stay resolute amid any criticism.

Three days after the crash, only 35 bodies had been handed over to relatives from an overall official death toll of 270.

The Air India flight fell from the sky on Thursday and killed at least 270 people in Gujarat state, officials said Saturday.

A veteran commercial airline pilot said he may have found a “total game-changer” in what led to the doomed Air India Boeing 787 to crash after analyzing new video.

The London-bound Boeing 787 struck a student doctor's hostel in a residential area of the Indian city of Ahmedabad minutes after takeoff on Thursday, killing 241 people on board and at least 29 on the ground.

An Air India Boeing 787, the same kind of plane that crashed 4 days earlier, was forced to turn around after a midair "technical issue," the airline says.

Footage that emerged after tragic plane crash in India appears to show an object flying from the aircraft just moments before it went down, killing 241 people.

Aviation expert Captain Steve Scheibner believes dual engine failure caused the Air India crash near Ahmedabad. New footage shows the ram air turbine deployed, indicating an emergency. A survivor reported a loud bang and flickering lights.
