The Air India flight, carrying 242 passengers and crew members, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, India, en route to London Gatwick.

A fatal crash of an Air India 787-8 Dreamliner, killing all 242 onboard, sunk Boeing's stock by 5%. This tragedy adds to their existing safety issues, challenging the new CEO's efforts to rebuild trust and meet production targets,

This is a different plane from the Boeing 737 Max, which was in the headlines after fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia, which killed hundreds of people in 2018 and 2019 respectively. A software fault was found to have caused those incidents and the model was grounded worldwide for 18 months.
