London-bound plane crashes in India with 242 on board
Combo photo shows the final moments of the plane. – Screengrab via Facebook AHMEDABAD (June 12): A London-bound passenger plane crashed today in India's western city of Ahmedabad with 242 on board, aviation officials said in what the airline called a 'tragic accident'. Air India's flight 171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which was bound for London Gatwick crashed shortly after takeoff, officials said. India's aviation minister said he was 'shocked and devastated' by the crash in Ahmedabad, where an AFP journalist saw thick plumes of black smoke over the airport. India's civil aviation authority said 'there were 242 person on board' including two pilots and 10 cabin crew. The Air India plane issued a mayday call and 'crashed immediately after takeoff', the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said. The civil aviation authority said the plane crashed outside the airport perimeter. Ahmedabad, the main city of India's Gujarat state, is home of around eight million people, and the busy airport is located surrounded by densely packed residential areas. Aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu directed 'all aviation and emergency response agencies to take swift and coordinated action.' 'Rescue teams have been mobilised, and all efforts are being made to ensure medical aid and relief support are being rushed to the site,' he added. 'My thoughts and prayers are with all those on board and their families.' Air India confirmed the crash. 'With profound sorrow I confirm that Air India Flight 171 operating Ahmedabad (to) London Gatwick was involved in a tragic accident today,' Air India chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran said. 'Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families and loved ones of all those affected by this devastating event,' said the airline chairman. An emergency centre has been activated and a support team set up for families seeking information, he added. India has suffered a series of fatal air crashes, including a 1996 disaster when two jets collided mid-air over New Delhi, killing nearly 350 people. In 2010 an Air India Express jet crashed and burst into flames at Mangalore airport in southwest India, killing 158 of the 166 passengers and crew on board. Decades earlier, an Air India Boeing 747 flying from Montreal to London in June 1985 crashed into the sea off Ireland with 329 people on board and leaving no survivors. An Indian commission determined that militant Sikhs had planted a bomb in baggage being carried by the plane. – AFP Air India Boeing india plane crash
