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

Medical students who survived when an Air India plane crashed into their hostel in Ahmedabad say their first reaction was to help treat the injured.

The identities of 135 persons who died in the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12 have been confirmed through DNA testing, The New Indian Express quoted an official as saying on Tuesday. The bodies of 101 persons have been handed over to their families, said Dr Rakesh Joshi, the medical superintendent at the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital.

Investigators have now recovered the cockpit voice recorder from last week’s devastating Air India crash and will analyse the pilots’ final words to help determine what caused the disaster that killed more than 270 people.

People haven't still recovered from the horrific incident where 241 passengers, including an entire family of five were wiped out in seconds, and News channels are already flashing reports of two India-bound flights forced to return to their ports of departure due to technical issues.

In the video, the woman is seen smiling and giggling as she films the interior of an Air India flight. Her demeanor, given the video's context, has provoked strong reactions on social media.

Following the Ahmedabad Air India crash and a lone survivor, the notion of a 'safest seat' is questioned. Experts emphasize that survival hinges on numerous factors beyond seat location, including aircraft design and passenger behavior.
