The head of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Stephanie Pope, met the chairman of Air India on Monday in India, two sources said, as the companies seek to find the cause of last week's fatal crash involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

In 2012 a Boeing jet was deliberately crashed in the Sonaran desert, Mexico and filmed it for television. The test revealed the safest seat to sit in.

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

Two different survivors of deadly plane crashes decades apart say they both sat in seat 11A. Is there something that makes that seat safter than others? Not according to aviation and disaster medicine experts.

The crash happened just weeks after the company cut a deal with the U.S. government to avoid taking criminal responsibility for a pair of deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.

AHMEDABAD (Reuters) -Lawrence Christian had flown to India to bury his father. A fortnight later, his family is now waiting to bury him. Christian, 30, worked in Britain and was one of the passengers on the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner bound for London that crashed last week with 242 people on board, seconds after taking off from Ahmedabad.

At least four separate flights encountered technical issues or emergencies within days of the Ahmedabad Air India crash, forcing sudden flight diversions and raising fresh concerns.

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.
