    India to London plane crashes with 242 people on board

    A plane carrying 242 people, including 53 British nationals, to London Gatwick has crashed in India.

    Local police said there appeared to be no survivors after the Air India Flight 171 came down in a residential area near Ahmedabad Airport shortly after take-off.

    But British man Vishwash Kumar Ramesh survived the crash, his family members have told Sky News.

    He told the Hindustan Times newspaper he heard a “loud noise” around 30 seconds after take-off before the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner went down.

    “It all happened so quickly,” he said, adding that he suffered “impact injuries” to his chest, eyes and feet. “When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran.”

    A fireball can be seen in footage as the plane crashed, hitting a doctors’ college residential quarters, in the north-western city in Gujarat state.
