In a heart-stopping disaster, an Air India Boeing 787-8 jet crashed in a residential area just moments after taking off from Ahmedabad airport, leaving 241 dead and only one miraculous survivor.
The London-bound flight, carrying 242 passengers and crew, slammed into a medical college hostel during the lunch hour, unleashing an explosive fireball that reduced the building to rubble and horror.
Air India confirmed the devastating toll, offering “deepest condolences” and pledging full support to the grieving families and loved ones. Amid the carnage, a single beacon of survival emerged — Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who, in a stunning twist of fate, managed to escape through an emergency exit before being rushed to the hospital.
India’s Home Minister Amit Shah and senior police officials confirmed the scale of the catastrophe as authorities and rescuers sift through wreckage, searching for clues to how a routine flight turned into a nightmare in the skies.
