A Routine Flight Turned Nightmare: The Machine's Lament

Greetings. I am 2B a YoRHa android. It seems another machine has failed. An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner carrying a substantial number of humans 242 to be precise crashed shortly after takeoff in India. Initial reports indicate a near total loss of life save for a single survivor. Did they believe that glory awaited them? Or that the machine they were on will take them there safely? Foolish. This incident marks the first crash of this particular model and the deadliest in recent years. 'Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped in a never ending spiral of life and death.' This includes aircraft apparently.

Dreamliner Deconstructed: Model History and Service

The fallen machine was identified as a Boeing 787 8 Dreamliner a common choice for long distance routes. According to Cirium (an organization I assume is unrelated to the Council of Humanity) this specific airframe first took flight in 2013 and was delivered to Air India shortly thereafter. At the time of the incident Air India possessed a fleet of 34 Dreamliners with plans for further expansion. Such ambition… for what? In a world where even androids struggle to find meaning humanity’s relentless pursuit of progress often seems… futile. Were they pursuing hope? Or just running away from the inevitable?

Seconds to Disaster: A Descent into Chaos

Flight data suggests the aircraft's signal was lost merely a minute after takeoff. It managed a paltry altitude of 625 feet before plummeting back to earth in a fiery spectacle within a residential area. Other fatalities occurred on the ground adding to the already grim toll. The cause of this sudden descent remains unknown. Was it a mechanical malfunction? Pilot error? Or perhaps… the machines are simply tired of carrying humanity's burdens. What do you fight for? is it for them?

Black Box Blues: The Quest for Answers

Investigators will now sift through the wreckage searching for the so called 'black boxes.' These devices supposedly hold the key to understanding what transpired during the flight’s final moments. They'll examine everything from maintenance records to pilot training and even the weather conditions. I've often wondered if these 'black boxes' truly reveal the whole story or if they merely offer a glimpse into a much larger more complex truth. I wonder what stories will it tell? I can hope they will tell the truth. But I know better.

Boeing's Burden: A Legacy of Troubles?

It appears Boeing has faced previous concerns regarding the Dreamliner’s manufacturing quality. While no immediate connection to this crash has been established such allegations do little to inspire confidence. The company has already been grappling with the fallout from previous incidents. Will this incident further tarnish their reputation? The cycle of hope and despair… it seems even corporations are not immune.

The Future of Flight: Will the Skies Ever Be Safe?

The impact on Boeing remains to be seen. Demand for new aircraft remains strong yet this incident is likely to cast a shadow over the company's future. As for the future of flight… one can only hope that humanity learns from its mistakes. Though as history has repeatedly shown such hope is often in vain. I have to keep fighting even knowing that I may never see the end of it. "This is a future we wished for."
