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

Over 50 coffins were sent to Ahmedabad Civil Hospital by a group of Christian makers from Vadodara on Sunday. The makers are from the Centenary Methodist Church in Vadodara, who had been working long hours since Friday night.

Seconds after the distress call, ATC responded but the plane had crashed by then, killing 241 people on board.

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.

It seemed impossible, but shortly after news broke that an Air India flight had crashed in the city of Ahmedabad, video started circulating on social media showing a man walking from the scene in a bloodstained shirt.

The Navi Mumbai airport is the talk of the town. But operator Adani group is pulling out all the stops to ensure the project takes off.
