Just 38 hours after the fatal AI 171 crash, another Air India wide-body aircraft had a close call.

On June 14, a Vienna-bound Boeing 777 (AI 187) received stall and ground proximity warnings shortly after takeoff from Delhi, dropping nearly 900 feet during climb. The pilots recovered and continued the flight safely.
