Visuals From Medical College

Established in 1871, Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Medical College has been a cornerstone of medical education since its inception but now stands amid the rubble of its infrastructure due to the Air India Flight crash that happened on Thursday, June 12, 2025.

The ill-fated flight plummeted into the residential quarters and mess of BJ Medical College, moments after takeoff, killing all, except one, aboard and several others on the ground and in the accident's vicinity.

Reportedly, the plane's front penetrated the walls of Atulyam-11 residential quarters that housed undergraduate and postgraduate doctors.

The plane's mid-section fell and scattered around the open area of the garden and the adjoining road, while the tail and wheels of the fated aircraft came crashing down through the roof of the college's mess, where over 100 people were having lunch at the time of the accident.

As soon as the crash occurred, students started running out of the mess, trying to navigate their way through the thick black smoke emanating from the aircraft's parts.

The entire compound comprising six buildings of the medical college was hit by the flight, four of which were hostels. What appeared to be the plane's main gate was seemingly buried among the rubble of the devastated buildings.

Among the remnants of the tragedy was the nearby vegetation that had turned black whispering the horror of the crash. Water tanks, windows, gates, etc., of the buildings hit in the crash are in unrecognizable condition.
