At eleven oh one, at least two hundred and forty people are believed to be dead after a Boeing seven eighty seven Dreamliner crashed today shortly after takeoff. The Air India jet was bound for London when there was some kind of malfunction. Here's ABC Sam Sweeney.
This was nose dive. This plane had just taken off. We've seen videos circulating on social media showing it almost looks like it's landing. It's coming down at roughly five hundred feet per second on a glide scope, so not a nose dive. The landing gear was still down. This signifies some sort of loss of power, and of course we now know that the captain did make some sort of a may day call, but then that was it.
And reports of the plane crashed into a medical college. The NTSB is leading a team of American investigators going to India to help with the investigation.

Dozens of demonstrations around the calendar. The one in Boston is expected to take place right alongside the city's Pride parade. Other local protest locations include Worcester, Springfield, Fitchburg, New Bedford, Providence, and Nashua, New Hampshire. Lots of hayes out there today for sure, and it's going to be a nice, warm day, beautiful day to get outside. Maybe head to the beach, go dip your toes in the water, your local pond or park. But keep this in mind, it is a
very high pollen day. And also we have a pretty elevated amount of ozone and issues with the air because of the smoke coming in from the Canadian wildfires. You put that together, we do again have the elevated levels in the atmosphere. If you are sensitive in this regard might be a day or you want to stay inside in the ac or limit your time outside. Now. We have temperatures right now in the upper seventies, low eighties, getting up to about the mid to upper eighties today,
a little bit cooler on the Capan Islands. Gusty breeze for the rest of the day from the southwest. For tonight, partly cloudy, low in Boston just about sixty, mid fifties if you're north and west. Friday Tomorrow cooler with a mix of sun and clouds and a high year seventy two for your Saturday. Yes, another weekend, I know, thirteen in a row this weekend where we will see a bit of rain and we've got a high only sixty two.
Sunday for Father's Day. It will stay cool, clouds much of the time, maybe a couple of showers but not consistent. And we've got a high just about sixty seventy eight degrees in Southbridge right now, seeing eighty one in Ipswich south of Boston, eighty two in Stoughton, and in Boston at eleven oh five.

The Breakers didn't last, but now Boston Legacy FC is returning to carry the standard for them. Lily says it's great that Pro women's soccer is returning to Boston.
It's been a long time out. We needed the pro team to return to Boston and it'll be exciting year along with the World Cup as well.
For the men.
With Pro women's soccer returning, he had a World Cup on the horizon, She says, both will help grow the game in Massachusetts even more.
Back when I was younger, there wasn't a lot of these soccer events going on in the United States. You know, the World Cup was there, but it wasn't here on ninety four, and obviously the Women's in ninety nine. So I think for young people it's an exciting time because those are the moments I'll remember when they get older that they.
Oh, we had the World Cup, we.
Went to watch and all that.
