Footage showing Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9 dumping fuel over Munich yesterday, using its fuel-jettison capability. To do this, the pilots activate the left and right jettison nozzles, go to the FUEL page on the MFD, turn the knob to select the amount of fuel to remain, and then activate the fuel dump.

That helicopter almost rolled over — but the pilot said, “Not today.” Engine failure in a helicopter doesn’t always lead to disaster.

WATCH: Air China Boeing 747-8 B-2486, flight CA982 from New York JFK to Beijing on 30th August, suffered a refueling incident after the fuel truck was reportedly suspected to have “moved abnormally,” damaging the aircraft's refueling connection and causing a significant fuel leak. Fuel spilled across the apron, prompting the fire department to rush in and wash down the affected area. The flight was subsequently canceled, and the aircraft remains at JFK. It is unclear exactly what caused the truck's abnormal movement, but footage appears to show the driver quickly shutting the door moments before the truck begins moving. B-2486 is one of the last remaining passenger Boeing 747-8s flying today. The Queen is becoming increasingly rare. We should protect her at all costs.

On this day, at approximately 08:09:05 UTC, Air India Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 (VT-ANB) bound for London Gatwick, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025. The aircraft struck a student hostel just 32 seconds after liftoff. The disaster claimed the lives of 241 of the 242 people onboard, as well as 19 people on the ground, marking the first fatal crash and hull loss of a Boeing 787 in history. According to the preliminary report, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF one second apart. The cockpit voice recorder captured one pilot asking the other why he had cut off the fuel, to which the other pilot replied that he had not done so.

Indian investigators are set to visit Seattle for Boeing lab testing tied to the Air India Flight 132 incident involving Boeing 787-8 VT-ANX. The aircraft, operating London Heathrow–Bengaluru on Feb. 2, 2026, was grounded after pilots reported the left Fuel Control Switch slipped from “RUN” to “CUTOFF.” Officials want Boeing to prove under controlled testing that the fuel switches cannot move on their own — even under vibration, turbulence, electrical faults, or other extreme conditions. Boeing is expected to demonstrate that the switch will not move unless physically operated by a human. The outcome of the tests could play a major role in determining whether the incident was caused by mechanical failure, external factors, or human interaction.
