Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

Air India has faced numerous deadly incidents, including the recent crash of flight 171, which killed 241, and past tragedies like the 1985 bombing and 2020 crash.

The only known surviving passenger was in seat 11A, next to an emergency exit, said Vidhi Chaudhary, a top state police officer, adding that there could be more survivors in hospital.

Air India plane crash investigators find the first of the "black boxes" from the Boeing 787-8 that slammed into buildings, killing all but one of the 242 people on board.

Authorities and insurers have launched on-site camps and helpdesks at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital to ensure quick and compassionate settlement of insurance claims.

Chandrasekaran told Air India employees that while the reasons behind the crash will be known only once the investigation is complete, they should "stay the course" and not put their "shoulders down" in the face of criticism.
