The death toll from Thursday’s Air India plane crash near Ahmedabad Airport has risen to 274, including 33 people on the ground, marking one of the deadliest aviation disasters in a decade. Authorities confirmed the jet crashed into a medical college campus moments after takeoff, leaving only one survivor among 241 passengers and crew. 💔
India’s government has launched a high-level probe led by the home secretary to investigate the crash. The committee, which includes senior officials, will examine potential causes like engine thrust, flap malfunctions, and why the landing gear remained open. A final report is expected within three months. 🔍
The Boeing 787-8, en route to London, carried passengers from diverse backgrounds, though details remain scarce. Rescue teams recovered one black box (flight data recorder), but the cockpit voice recorder—critical for understanding pilot communications—is still missing. 📦
This tragedy has reignited global conversations about aviation safety and maintenance protocols. As families mourn, the world watches for answers. 🌍🕊️
