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

The teenager who filmed the Air India crash has said he would not ‘sit on a plane’ again after witnessing the disaster. Aryan Ansari, 17, was standing on a terrace of a three-storey building to film the Boeing 787 on his phone as it left Ahmedabad airport on Thursday afternoon, in order to show his friends ‘how planes fly.’

On June 12, 2025, Air India Flight 171 crashed near Ahmedabad, killing 241 of 242 aboard. The last message from the cockpit was, ‘Thrust not achieved... falling... Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!’

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.

Indian investigators have recovered the digital flight data recorder or the black box of the Air India flight that crashed a day earlier.

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.
