Indian Authorities Begin Probe of Air India Plane Crash as Modi Visits the Site

An Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with 242 people on board crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad yesterday, killing 241 on the plane and several on the ground.
The plane collided with a medical college hostel in a densely populated area, causing a massive blaze and prompting a formal investigation by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau.
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national and sole survivor seated next to an emergency exit, escaped by jumping out and is now treated in hospital as efforts continue to identify victims by DNA.
The Tata Group, Air India’s owner, pledged 10 million rupees to each victim’s family and to cover medical costs for the injured, while authorities reported 265 bodies had been recovered so far.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the crash as heartbreaking, visited the survivor and site, and expressed condolences to families including that of a deceased former Indian politician.
