An Air India flight bound for London, carrying 242 people onboard, crashed at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad shortly after its take-off, prompting a quick emergency response. The injured are currently undergoing treatment at Civil Hospital in the city.

Vishwas, a British national, had come to India to visit his family and was going back to London along with his brother, Ajay Kumar Ramesh.
Vishwas further told HT that when he regained consciousness, he saw bodies lying all around. "I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital", he recalled.
The British national said that he had been living in London for almost 20 years, adding that his wife and children live there. Vishwas added that his brother Ajay was seated in a different row. "We visited Diu. He was travelling with me and I can’t find him anymore. Please help me find him,” he told HT.
