The Press Trust then shared images of medics rushing casualties on stretchers. The plane crashed just five minutes after taking off, according to Faiz Ahmed Kidwai, the director general of the directorate of civil aviation, who spoke to The Associated Press. It was not clear how many casualties there were from the flight, a Boeing 787 which was bound for London’s Gatwick Airport. But Air India said on X that the flight was carrying 169 Indian nationals, 53 British nationals, one Canadian and seven Portuguese. Multiple videos shared by residents appeared to show charred bodies and body parts at the site of the crash. Casualties may also include people impacted after the plane, or parts of the plane, smashed into the cafeteria of a hostel for male students of the BJ Medical College in Ahmedabad, according to a hospital official who declined to be named because she was not authorized to speak to the media. She said the hospital was taking in casualties presently. Another doctor at the trauma center where casualties were being treated said so far, 90 people had been bought in. She also requested anonymity because she wasn’t authorized to speak to the media. Reuters reported that at least 30 bodies had been recovered from a building at the site of the plane crash. The Indian prime minister Narendra Modi called the crash a “tragedy” that had “stunned and saddened us.” “It is heartbreaking beyond words. In this sad hour, my thoughts are with everyone affected by it,” he wrote on X. Natarajan Chandrasekaran, the chairman of the Tata Group that operates Air India said, in a statement that flight AI171 was involved in a “tragic incident.” He said the conglomerate was assisting the emergency response teams and providing care and support to those impacted. The airport where the flight departed from has now suspended operations. “The crew of Air India flight AI171 gave a MAYDAY call to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) immediately after take-off, but gave no response after that to calls made by the ATC to the aircraft, according to a statement from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA),” Breaking Aviation News & Videos wrote.

Malik said, according to CNBC. However, unverified social media reports indicate there may be at least one survivor from the crash. “40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national, is reported to have survived the Air India crash. He was seated away from his brother, who remains missing. ‘There was a huge bang just seconds after takeoff. I ran through smoke and fire.’ He is one of the only confirmed survivors so far,” Breaking Aviation News & Videos wrote. 40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national, is reported to have survived the Air Indiacrash.

The flight was bound for London Gatwick Airport when it was “involved in a tragic accident today,” Air India Chairman N Chandrasekaran said. Video posted on social media appeared to show the jetliner descending followed by a fireball and a dark plume of smoke. It wasn’t clear if there were survivors, but if there are casualties, it would be the first fatal crash of a Boeing Dreamliner. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a top-selling wide-body aircraft meant for longer routes. The aircraft was delivered to Air India in 2014, according FlightRadar24. The cause of the crash wasn’t immediately known and could take months to determine. Under international protocols during crashes, the country where the incident took place will lead the investigation, along with officials, the maker of the aircraft and its engines, and others. Initial flight-path data “shows that the aircraft reached a maximum barometric altitude of 625 feet (airport altitude is about 200 feet) and then it started to descend with an vertical speed of -475 feet per minute,” FlightRadar said on X. The more than 11-year-old plane had 41,000 hours of flight time, nearly 8,000 takeoffs, which are average for that aircraft and the year it was built, according to aviation-data firm Cirium.
