Boeing Dreamliner crash details emerge as India reportedly weighs grounding the 787

More details are coming to light around Thursday’s deadly crash of Air India Flight 171.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner had 242 people onboard including crew when it crashed into a medical school dining hall shortly after takeoff. The death toll, including people on the ground, has reached more than 240. As of Friday morning, there is only one known survivor who was onboard.

According to reports out of India, the Indian government is considering grounding its fleet of 787-8s.

The crash marks the country’s deadliest aviation incident in 29 years and is the first crash of a 787 Dreamliner in the aircraft’s 14-year history. More than 1,100 Dreamliners operate worldwide.

Boeing’s shares closed down nearly 5% on Thursday and continued their downward slide on Friday morning. Since market close on Wednesday, the plane maker has shed about $12 billion in market cap. Engine manufacturer GE Aerospace was also trading lower both days.

The most watched soccer match in US history got less than a third of the views the Super Bowl did

Between a top-spot finish in the group stage, a sweeping performance against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32, and the president’s controversial intervention, Monday evening’s USMNT game against Belgium had, to put it lightly, shaped up into a box-office clash.

And though the US players’ performance on the pitch might not have lived up to the high drama off it, American soccer fans certainly showed up. According to early estimates, the 4-1 defeat against Belgium was the most watched soccer telecast in US history, hauling some 40 million viewers on average across the coverage on Fox and Telemundo.

That may be a record tally in the US for the sport that much of the world calls some variant of “football” — besting the 36.2 million who tuned in to watch the team’s previous knock-out match — but it’s still peanuts in comparison to the sport that shares the same name in the States.
