India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), along with international experts, is digging into what caused the crash. Top officials like Home Minister Amit Shah visited the site. This is now India's worst aviation disaster in 10 years—and sadly, it's also the first fatal crash involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
