Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

The Tata Group, which bought the airline three years ago, has been trying to improve operations at a time of great change in India’s aviation market.

AHMEDABAD, India (AP) — Indian investigators on Friday recovered the digital flight data recorder, or the black box, of the Air India flight that fell from the sky and killed 241 people on board and several people on the ground, authorities said.

An Indian student was handcuffed and brutally pinned to the ground by officials at the Newark airport then deported, according to social media video.
