Investigators believe the Air India Boeing Dreamliner had its emergency-power generator operating when it crashed last week in India's Ahmedabad, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday (Jun 18)

The Air India crash is the latest in a series of setbacks that have defined much of the past decade for Boeing. These have led to a cascading effect on Boeing’s operations and finances, while its rival Airbus barely made any news and stayed profitable.
