Air India directed to carry out Boeing 787 safety checks as families reunited with victims Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe on Thursday declared a State of Emergency and activated the Missouri National Guard in anticipation of protests across the state.

It’s also the latest disaster to hit the beleaguered American aerospace giant — which has been dogged by a door that blew off a 737 jet, a leaky spacecraft that stranded astronauts on the International Space Station for months, as well as politically damaging delays in outfitting the new Air Force One jets.

Only one passenger onboard the aircraft survived in the tragic accident. These checks are being carried out on the Boeing 787 fleet as they return to India, before being cleared for their next operations, Air India said.

Air India warns of delays as the DGCA orders mandatory safety checks on all Boeing 787s after a deadly Ahmedabad crash kills 265.
