London-bound jet crashes into residential area; pilot issues ‘Mayday’ alert soon after take-off, goes silent before the crash; former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani among the victims; one passenger survives miraculously; he was identified as a British national; several casualties feared on the ground with official count of those killed awaited
An Air India flight from Ahmedabad to London, carrying 242 passengers and crew, crashed shortly after takeoff on Thursday (June 12, 2025) afternoon. Barring one miracle survivor, no one else could be rescued. Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was among those killed in the crash.
The Boeing 787-8 aircraft took off at 1:38 p.m. Five minutes later, the aircraft plummeted into the B.J. Medical College hostel mess 5km from the airport, as over 100 students were gathered for lunch. A towering plume of smoke was visible from afar after a massive explosion.
They really need to get people out of the surrounding the areas. People taking videos of peoples bodies and playing around with plane parts and posing for pics on them is insanely disrespectful.
Edit: Also just watched news and they're playing fake graphics of planes crashing and blowing up while screaming. This is absolutely disgusting.
