Researchers from India, the United States and the United Kingdom will try in the next few days to determine what caused the Boeing 787-8 Dreamline to crash shortly after takeoff, only 1.5 km from the track of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.

What happened exactly to the AI171 flight between Ahmedabad and London Gatwick this Thursday will only reveal a detailed investigation, but the moments after takeoff are usually the most difficult in aviation.

In Thursday's catastrophe 241 people died on board and more victims registered on land.

It is the first time that a 787-8 Dreamliner plane suffers an accident of this nature since it entered commercial service in 2011.
