Federal transportation officials said Thursday there is currently no immediate reason to ground Boeing 787 passenger planes, the model involved in the Air India crash that killed more than 240 people on June 12.

During a press conference on Thursday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Acting Federal Aviation Administrator Chris Rocheleau said they have reviewed video clips of the deadly crash but have not found any preliminary evidence that might suggest the aircraft model itself is unsafe.
