A Very unfortunate news

All 242 Passengers in the Boeing 787-8 IA171 Flight are no more, said Ahemdabad Police Commisioner

Om Shanti to the departed souls 🙏🏻

Gujarat Government appeals to Family Members of People onboard ill-fated Air India plane to give DNA samples to help identify deceased.

John Barnett, a former Boeing quality manager, spent years warning that 787s were being assembled with serious defects:

• Deliberate use of substandard parts

• Faulty oxygen systems in up to 1 in 4 planes

• Metal shavings near wiring that could trigger mid-air disasters

• Pressure to cover up quality failures to keep production moving

He said Boeing prioritized speed and profit over safety — and was punished for speaking out.

In March 2024, just days into legal testimony against Boeing, Barnett was found dead with a 'self-inflicted gunshot'. Officially ruled a "suicide". #Aviation

Tucker Carlson: Why do they want to weaken Russia? No one wants to weaken India?

Jeffrey D Sachs: Some day when India succeeds, we will wanna weaken India.

Tucker Carlson: Probably sooner rather than later.

The plane carried almost 1,25,000 litres of fuel, and due to the high temperature, there was no chance of saving anyone.

I visited the crash site. The retrieval of the dead bodies is almost complete. DNA samples of the family members are being collected.
