出去旅行也不太平啊。

A Boeing 787-8 passenger jet carrying 242 people bound for London crashed in a residential area in the western Indian state of Gujarat shortly after takeoff on Thursday, a crash Indian authorities say likely killed everyone aboard.

Air India said the flight departed Ahmedabad at 1:38 p.m. local time and was carrying 230 passengers, of whom 169 are Indian, 53 British, one Canadian and seven Portuguese nationals.

“It appears that survival of any passenger from [the] plane it seems very remote,” Ahmedabad Police Commissioner G.S. Malik said. “I don’t think anyone might have survived, the way the plane has crashed.” He added that there were also many injuries at the crash site.

Boeing’s 787, known as the Dreamliner, entered service in October 2011 and had never had a fatal incident.

“We are in contact with Air India regarding Flight 171 and stand ready to support them. Our thoughts are with the passengers, crew, first responders and all affected,” Boeing said. Shares in Boeing dropped sharply in premarket trading.

Thursday’s crash is a fresh blow to the plane maker, which has been mired in safety and production issues in recent years. The crash is also a rare major incident for the 787, which has enjoyed one of the best safety records in commercial aviation since its launch.

别是地勤忘了加油吧。

油是满的，起飞爬升100多米（一般不到1分钟）就掉下来了

一百多吨油呢，机长不看油量表或者油量表坏了，凭经验都能感觉出来

Ramesh told the Hindustan Times that he had been visiting family and was returning to the UK with his brother, who had been sitting in a different row. He didn’t know if his brother had survived, he said.

据说是襟翼收起太早，使得动力不够完全起飞。

flaps on the wings appear not to be set in the normal take-off position.

有一个跑道方向的视频，基本起来就下去了。

很可能是操作问题，连起落架都没有收，也就是说其实刚起飞高度看起来不到100米的样子，这个时候是需要升力的，怎么肯能收襟翼？
