3 India-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliners returned to their origin within 36 hours

After a recent Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, three India-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliners returned to their origin.
Air India's Hong Kong- Delhi flight, British Airways London-Chennai flight , and Lufthansa's Frankfurt-Hyderabad flight were forced toreturn to their origin after takeoff.
Last week, an Air India flight to London, using the Boeing 787-8 aircraft, crashed in Ahmedabad moments after takeoff, killing 241 of the 242 people on board.
Air India's Hong Kong- Delhi flight
An Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner plane bound for New Delhi returned to its origin of Hong Kong shortly around 15 minutes after takeoff on Monday as a precautionary measure following a suspected technical issue.
In a statement, Air India said on Monday that flight AI315 returned to Hong Kong because of what it described as "a technical issue" without giving details.
The flight landed safely and was undergoing checks "as a matter of abundant precaution", it added.
According to Reuters citing recordings posted on air traffic control monitoring website LiveATC.net, one of the pilots in the plane told air traffic controllers around 15 minutes after takeoff that 'for technical reasons, sir, we would like to stay closer to Hong Kong, maybe we will come back and land back into Hong Kong once we sort out the problem.'
Lufthansa's Frankfurt-Hyderabad flight
A Lufthansa flight to Hyderabad was forced to make a U-turn and returned to land at Frankfurt Airport due to a bomb threat, the airline said on Monday.
Flight LH752 departed from Germany around 14.14 local time Sunday and was scheduled to land at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in the early hours of Monday but flight tracker data showed a diversion a few hours into the flight.
Lufthansa said the passengers had been provided overnight accommodation in Frankfurt and are scheduled to resume their journey to Hyderabad on Monday morning.
'Out of an abundance of caution, Lufthansa flight LH752 from Frankfurt to Hyderabad returned to its point of departure after authorities were made aware of a bomb threat posted on social media,' Lufthansa said in a statement.
'The safety of our passengers and crew is Lufthansa's highest priority. Affected passengers were provided with accommodation in Frankfurt and will be continuing their journey to Hyderabad today,' the statement said.
British Airways London-Chennai flight
A Chennai-bound British Airways Boeing Dreamliner returned to London due to a technical snag on Sunday.
The flight landed safely with crew and passengers disembarking as they normally would, British Airways said in a statement.
The development comes days after an Air India Boeing Dreamliner crashed in Ahmedabad killing 241 passengers and crew members on board.
The airline, however, did not share other details such as the departure time of the flight, the number of passengers and crew on board and for how long the aircraft remained airborne before it returned to London.

Gaurav Taneja AKA Flying Beast Simulates Air India Flight 171 Crash: 'It Was Scary, I Froze'

Last Updated: Flying Beast Gaurav Taneja simulates Air India Flight 171 crash, discusses overloading, pilot error, and rules out dual engine failure in new YouTube video. Popular YouTuber and pilot Gaurav Taneja, better known as Flying Beast, has released a detailed video analysing the tragic crash of Air India Flight 171 in Ahmedabad. The incident, which resulted in the death of 270 people, shocked the nation and raised questions about what could have gone wrong. In his latest upload, Taneja attempts to understand the crash by recreating it through flight simulations and exploring various theories. Initially, Taneja leaned toward a dual-engine failure being the most likely cause. However, after running simulations, he says his opinion has evolved. He even hinted at a combination of factors — including overloading and potential pilot error — being at play. 'I was fixated on this reason until today evening. In the sim, everything was falling into place. After takeoff, we killed both engines at 100 feet," he said, referring to his simulation scenario. He further explained that he made some adjustments to reflect a more realistic setup for a long-haul international route. 'Usually, this aircraft is 62 tonnes, but considering that it was a long flight to London, I've made it 70 tonnes." The experience during the simulation left a strong impression on him. 'It was scary. I froze. There was nothing that you could do. What could you do? All you can do is pray and watch the ground come at you." Earlier, Taneja had pointed out that because the plane managed to lift off, the aircraft systems were likely functioning properly in the initial seconds. However, the fact that the landing gear was not retracted could be a major indicator that something went wrong immediately after take-off. 'So, if there was no such warning at take-off, that means there was no major error in the aircraft or its systems. Aircraft usually take off as part of a routine, once you cross 100 or 400 feet, you put the autopilot on. In this case, I don't know whether the pilots had time to do that. The landing gear was still down. The usual procedure is: you take off, confirm there is a positive rate of climb, and then the pilot flying calls it out, and the gear is taken up. But here, the gears were left down, indicating that right after take-off there was some emergency. The pilots were distracted, they were trying to solve that problem. There was no time or perhaps no confirmation of a positive rate of climb, and the aircraft was sinking, about 400 feet per minute." With nearly 10 million subscribers on YouTube, Flying Beast's video has sparked fresh conversation around aviation safety, aircraft weight regulations, and cockpit decisions under stress. In the past, Taneja has used his platform to simplify aviation concepts for general audiences, and this latest upload continues in that direction — helping viewers understand the real-life challenges pilots face.

History Headline: 37 years earlier, another air crash in Ahmedabad

Ushaben Patel had just finished helping her son Mileen, 8, with his homework before school on October 19, 1988, when the driver she had sent to Ahmedabad airport to pick up her husband returned to their Naranpura residence without him. Sharadbhai Patel, 35, a finance director at Rexroth, a hydraulic and electrical systems firm, was flying back a day before their elder son Jaysheel's birthday. 'As soon as the driver told me that my husband's plane had crashed, I left for the airport. At the site, I saw bodies on fire. I said a quick prayer for them before fainting,' Ushaben, 75, who lives in Canada now, tells The Indian Express over telephone. At 6.53 am on October 19, 1988, an Indian Airlines flight (a Boeing-737) from Bombay to Ahmedabad with 135 passengers, including six crew members, crashed into a paddy field around 2.5 km from runway 23 of Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. While 130 died on impact, three succumbed to their injuries during treatment. Two men who survived the crash sustained grievous injuries. On June 12 this year — nearly 37 years later — Air India's Boeing-787 Dreamliner departed from runway 23 of the airport with 242 passengers, including 12 crew members, for London. Minutes later, the plane went down, its tail striking the first-floor mess at B J Medical College and Hospital, located a kilometre from the airport. While 241 persons onboard and several others on the ground were killed, one passenger survived the crash. A report dated October 20, 1988, in The Indian Express states that the Boeing, 'acquired in 1971…apparently lost height before landing and went shearing through branches of babul trees, hit a neem tree and also snapped a high tension power line before crashing'. Initially, five persons had survived the 1988 crash — Vinod Tripathi, Parag Vasavada, Jaikrishna Kaushik Rav, Ashok Agarwal and Rajiv. News reports say that these survivors, seated in the tail portion of the plane, were 'thrown out' after the aircraft broke into three parts on impact. At 13, Jaikrishna was the youngest survivor, but he lost his parents and brother in the crash. Residents of Sabarkantha district's Idar, the family had come to Gujarat nearly a decade after shifting to Zambia. In 1988, Dr M F Shaikh, then 30, was an assistant professor in the General Surgery and Plastic Surgery Department of BJ Medical College, which is affiliated with and located on the Civil Hospital campus. 'Jaikrishna had fractured his right femur (the strongest bone in the human body) and had burn injuries. A week after his treatment at the hospital, he was airlifted to Mumbai's Hinduja Hospital. However, he succumbed to his injuries within two days,' says Dr Shaikh, who retired as the Head of the Plastic Surgery Department. Besides Jaikrishna, Parag Vasavada and Rajiv too died during the course of treatment. Of the two survivors, Tripathi, then Gujarat Vidyapith Registrar, passed away in 2003, while Agrawal, a textile businessman, died in March 2020. The first to treat the Registrar, Dr Shaikh says Tripathi 'ran from the blazing plane despite burns in both legs'. Tripathi, who retired as Vice-Chancellor, was carrying 170 degrees to get them signed by then Chancellor Morarji Desai. The Vidyapith reissued these degrees. Agarwal's family, which has moved to another area in Ahmedabad, declined requests by The Indian Express to talk about the incident. One of his old neighbours says, 'He lost his wife Abha, 22, and their daughter Ruhi, 11 months, in the crash. He never recovered from the loss of his family.' Dr Drupad Chhatrapati, 92, then medical superintendent at the Civil Hospital, recalls, 'Within 48 hours of the post-mortem, we emptied out a ward at the hospital. The bodies, covered in white sheets, were lined up there for identification. Since there was no DNA testing then, families were asked to identify the remains.' According to reports, bodies, luggage and plane debris were found strewn over a radius of half a kilometre near the Kotarpur Water Works, under construction then. Pinakin Dikshit, then Deputy Commissioner, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, says, 'It was a foggy morning. Construction lights were on at the water works compound. The pilot could have mistaken those for landing lights.' Today, a memorial — a concrete airplane on a 10×10 platform — stands at the crash site, located inside the compound. Since 1990, victims' families have been visiting the site annually on October 19 to pay their respects. A rusted board near the memorial, with the words 'Smriti Van' painted in white, leads to a 'mini forest', where the families had planted 133 saplings in 1991. Anil Pathak, 75, a reporter who had done stories on the crash, recalls, 'Among the belongings recovered was a potli (cloth bundle) of gold. I remember the parents of a Mumbai-based cabin crew member wandering around the site in search of their daughter for months. They were convinced that she had survived the crash.' The crash posed many challenges, says ex-Chief Secretary P K Laheri, then Principal Secretary to CM Amarsinh Chaudhary. 'There were no mobile phones then. The police control room called me 20 minutes after the crash. Limited resources meant we had to call the fire brigade from Vadodara (around 100 km away). There were no rescue teams then. All rescue work was undertaken by the fire department,' he says. US resident Pankesh Patel, 64, lost his brother Rakesh and sister-in-law Bhavnaben, both 24, in the crash. He says, 'The June 12 crash revived memories of the 1988 incident— the shock and how my parents were left devastated. Like us, these families too will go through the same trauma.' Though the authorities had announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh per victim of the 1988 crash, their families have been fighting a legal battle for 'fair' compensation based on a victim's age and income .

(HT PHOTO) The Shaikh family received 22-year-old Irfan's remains after a DNA match on Friday, and they were brought to Pune in the early hours of the day. The family includes his grandparents, parents, and brother. The final rites were held at Hazrat Bilal burial ground in Nehrunagar in the presence of family, neighbours, friends, and leaders from across political parties at around 9.30 am. Irfan was on board the London-bound Air India flight, AI 171, that crashed into a building in a medical college complex moments after take-off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad on June 12. A total of 241 persons on board the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft were killed in the crash, along with 29 others on the ground. 'Irfan joined the aviation industry as a cabin crew member two years ago after completing a course at a private institute in Pune. He initially worked with Vistara, and after the Air India-Vistara merger, he began flying on international routes. Irfan's father Salim Shaikh runs a small shop in Tukaramnagar and his brother works in a software company,' said Firoz Shaikh, Irfan's relative. The youngster had big dreams and was determined to excel in the field, but the crash shattered all those dreams, he said.
