The plane involved was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, delivered to Air India in 2014, according to the aviation tracking site FlightRadar24.

Fuuuuuuuuck I was about to blindly post "I'll bet 10 grand it was a Boeing." Ofc it's a Boeing rofl. Look guys the Boeing shareholder meeting is coming to town 🎪🤡 🐘🤡🎩!!!

I actually cannot imagine being an engineer and willingly taking a job at Boeing. "Yeah so I paid for my degree and don't actually have any engineering skills. Perfect you're hired."

I continue to be amazed they're still allowed to fly.

I mean Boeing is a huge percentage of commercial aircraft, so of course it's a Boeing. It's like when you hear about an electric vehicle exploding, of course it's a Tesla, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was a design flaw. (Though fuck Tesla, they sucked way before people realized Musk sucks.)
