The head of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Stephanie Pope, met the chairman of Air India on Monday in India, two sources said, as the companies seek to find the cause of last week's fatal crash involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

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

A veteran commercial airline pilot said he may have found a “total game-changer” in what led to the doomed Air India Boeing 787 to crash after analyzing new video.

The harrowing incident saw the London-bound Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner plunge into a residential area in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, killing 241 passengers on board and another 38 people on the ground. Now, commercial airline pilot and crash analyst Steve Schreiber has pointed to fresh footage as a key breakthrough in understanding what went wrong.

The Air India flight fell from the sky on Thursday and killed at least 270 people in Gujarat state, officials said Saturday.
