Six months after an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed killing 260 people, the investigation remains inconclusive.

Tensions between pilots, victims' families, the airline, and Boeing continue as experts question the investigation's focus on the deceased pilots rather than potential technical failures.
