One black box recovered from Air India plane crash site, police sources say
- On Thursday afternoon, Air India Flight AI 171, a 12-year-old Boeing 787, crashed shortly after departing from Ahmedabad, colliding with a medical college hostel in a residential neighborhood and resulting in the deaths of all 241 passengers and crew aboard, along with multiple casualties on the ground.
- The crash followed the plane seeming unable to gain height and becoming stuck in midair shortly after takeoff, as described by the sole survivor Viswashkumar Ramesh.
- Residents in the vicinity rushed to help the injured, medics conducted DNA tests to identify mostly charred bodies, and at least four medical students were killed on the ground with several others hospitalized.
- Investigators recovered the plane’s black box on Friday, which contains engine, control, and cockpit voice recordings expected to clarify if loss of power or lift caused the crash.
- An investigation involving U.S. experts aims to prevent future accidents, while Prime Minister Modi met the lone survivor and described the loss as 'beyond words' as search efforts continued for more victims.
