      To survive a plane crash and then wake up to Modi hovering over you. You must think you’re in hell.

        He’ll probably have to meet Starmer next. Worst week of his life.

        I’m willing to wait for the analysis. It was a hot day and based on the video they didn’t have flaps set at take off.

          Misunderstood you! You meant the plane’s old enough that Boeing’s QC issues are not a likely cause.

          787-8 isn’t “very old”

            I mean it was 12 years old. That’s old. Any recent issues with Boeing of which there are a ton, shouldn’t reflect on a 12 year old plane.

              12 is not very old for an airliner, they are expected to last for 20-30 ish years.

              More in some cases with proper maintenance. The air force one planes for example are almost 40.

                OP meant the plane’s age predates Boeing’s issues.

                  Except it doesn’t, the whistleblowers are from the dreamliner’s construction and claim it takes 10-15 years for manufacturing slop to cause crashes
