00:00Shares of planemaker Boeing fell nearly 8 percent in pre-market U.S. trading on Thursday
00:06after an Air India aircraft with 242 people on board crashed minutes after taking off
00:12from India's western city of Ahmedabad.
00:16Authorities have recovered at least 30 bodies, but the death toll is expected to rise.
00:21The plane was headed for Gatwick Airport and had crashed in a civilian area nearby.
00:27It is not immediately clear what caused the crash, but Boeing said it's aware of initial
00:32reports and it's working to gather more information.
00:36The incident comes as the planemaker tries to rebuild trust related to safety in its jets
00:41and ramp up production.
00:43It has also been facing headwinds over the past months from U.S.-China trade tensions, which
00:49have disputed deliveries and increased supply chain costs.
00:53In early April, Boeing shares fell roughly 3 percent amid concerns over U.S. trade tariffs
00:58on steel and aluminum, and retaliating actions from China affecting aircraft deliveries.
01:04No, that's interesting.
01:17Okay?
01:18Make sure.
