What Happened Before The Air India Flight Crash

The Air India Flight AI-171 took off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad at 13:39 pm IST and was en route to London's Gatwick.

Minutes after the takeoff, the pilot reported "Mayday," following which the cockpit went silent. The plane then crashed in seconds, giving no time for the passengers to escape.

Just after the crash, the plane, carrying 169 Indians, 53 British, 7 Portuguese, and 1 Canadian, along with 12 crew members, turned into a massive fireball, killing all except one miracle survivor.

Former Gujarat Chief Minister, Vijay Rupani was also on the ill-fated flight during the crash. Videos of the bereaved family members are emotionally crumbling to look at the hurt the crash has inflicted on them.

The reasons behind the deadly crash are under investigation. Amidst this, Boeing has extended support to the Air India-led accident investigation team to look deeper into the matter.
