There is nothing wrong with the 787. I've flown on KLM 787s quite a few times.
Now I won't fly on anything operated by Air India.

That is true, but I highly doubt this is a Boeing caused accident. Just my opinion of course.
Not until the contaminations clogged the screens preventing fuel from getting through.
Its happened before on two Boeing 777s, and an Airbus A330. All three of them with Rolls Royce Trent engines. All three were contaminated with ice in the screens. There is an airworthiness directive out for Trent Engines regarding this.
A contamination can be anything, does not have to be ice.
Apparently this plane was powered by two GEnx-1B67 engines. Do these engines have similar issues?
I wonder what has changed recently to cause the engine failures.

One of the engines (Starboard) on AI171 had been replaced back in March 2025 and it failed as well.
The engines were NOT GE. They were Rolls Royce Trent 1000s.Maybe GE has some issues…
