More than 200 people were killed when an Air India plane bound for London with 242 people on board crashed minutes after taking off from the western city of Ahmedabad, authorities said, in the world’s worst aviation disaster in a decade.
At least one person is known to have survived, police said, and the man told Indian media how he had heard a loud noise shortly after take-off.
