Ahmedabad’s collision place

According to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, the signal of the aircraft was lost in less than a minute after taking off.

The flight tracking data ends with a plane at an altitude of 625 feet (190m).

India’s aviation regulatory agencies said the plane called the air traffic control. Since then, there was no response.

It has fallen into a residential area called Meghani Nagar. The police said they had fallen to the doctor’s hostel in the ANI news agency.

The photo taken after the collision shows the table and food dishes abandoned at the hostel’s stall. At the end of the room, people gathered to examine big holes on the walls due to the influence of the plane.

A woman at the scene told ANI that when the plane crashed, the son jumped off the second floor of the hostel and was injured.

What do you know about the plane?

The relevant aircraft was BOEING 787-8 Dreamliner, and Air India Crash was the first to come down.

This model was released 14 years ago. Just six weeks ago, Boeing praised the fact that he reached a milestone that carried 1 billion passengers.

AIR India operates more than 190 planes, including 58 Boeing Aircraft, according to the website.

BOEING said in a statement: “We are in contact with Air India about the 171 flight and are ready to support them. Our thoughts are all influenced by passengers, crews, first respondents and all.”

Did the wing flap play a crash?

Aviation experts told the BBC that the wings flap location of the plane could cause problems with the plane.

As long as the BBC has verified, it hits the plane surface and shows the descending order before a big explosion occurs.

“If I look at this, the lower car is still down, but the flap has been withdrawn.”

Another expert, Terry Tozer, “It’s very difficult to speak in the video. The flap doesn’t seem to be expanding and it will be a perfect explanation for the aircraft that the aircraft has not completed the takeoff correctly.”

“If the flap is not set correctly, it will refer to potential human errors,” said Marco Chan, a former controller and chief instructor of Buckinghamshire New University.

What did airlines and authorities say?

AIR India confirmed that the flight was “involved in the accident after taking off today.”

It is completely cooperative with the authorities who investigate the collision, provides additional updates, and set up a dedicated passenger hotline to provide additional information: 1800 5691 444

Tata Group, which owns Air India, said it will provide one croan rupee (about 86,000 pounds) to the family of each person who died in an accident.

Campbell Wilson, CEO of Air India, explained his “deep sadness” according to this incident.
