Air India plane crash

There was a plane crash in India shortly after taking off on Thursday, June 12, 2025.

This was Air India Flight 171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, flying to London Gatwick. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all but one of the 242 people on board. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the crash was “heartbreaking” in a post on social media. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the crash was “devastating”.

Planes are one of the safest things to do. Every time there’s a crash, the news will be reported. How do they avoid the crash? If they don’t check if the plane is fine then the plane might break while flying. If they are worrying about that too much, they might forget to look at the signals. If there are planes around, then both of the planes will crash into each other! If they don’t look at the routes, then one might go down while the other one is trying to go up, and they crash! If they check everything , it will be a safe flight and nothing will happen as usual.

I think the planes should be one at a time for the lanes, or else they would all crash Into each other and that would be very bad. If a plane crashes everyone should know about it because it is on the news. Sometimes the crash happens but the pilots do an emergency landing and everyone is safe. Sometimes plane crashes are in mid-air and the passengers don’t even get a chance to run out or escape. Planes are still safe, because there are signals that help to lead where they are going.

I feel like planes are one of the best ways to travel, because the chances of crashing are very rare. There’s almost no way it’s going to be you, so this is why I think planes are still good.
