At least 265 people were killed on June 12 when an Air India flight tragically crashed minutes after taking off from Ahmedabad Airport. On its way to London Gatwick, the plane only reached 625 feet before crashing roughly four miles from the runway. During its descent, it reportedly collided with a medical college dorm.

The majority of the 242 passengers on the flight were British and Indian nationals. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a 40-year-old British national, was discovered among the debris after surviving the collision. “Mayday… no thrust, losing power, unable to lift,” the pilots, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder, had said in their mayday call, signifying an unexpected engine failure.

Air India called the crash a “tragic accident” and stated that it is collaborating closely with the families of those impacted as well as rescue personnel. Emergency response teams were sent out right away to look for survivors and evaluate the impact’s damage.

Concerns regarding urban flight paths and aviation safety regulations have also been raised by the crash site, which is close to a medical college and a populated area. Several nearby buildings sustained damage, but as of right now, no ground fatalities have been reported.

Investigations are still ongoing to determine the precise cause of the crash. To ascertain what caused the unexpected power outage, aviation authorities and specialists are reviewing the voice recorders and flight data. The country is grieving over one of the deadliest aviation disasters in recent memory as the investigation continues.
