The Air India Flight AI171 crash in Ahmedabad has now claimed 270 lives, including 10 from BJ Medical College hostel—4 students and 6 relatives of doctors—confirmed by FAIMA. The London-bound Boeing 787 crashed minutes after takeoff, hitting the hostel mess area. Former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani was among the dead. The sole survivor, British national Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, escaped from seat 11A near the emergency exit. Prime Minister Modi visited Ahmedabad, met the survivor, and promised full support for victims’ families. Authorities have recovered the aircraft’s black box as investigations continue into India’s deadliest air disaster in decades. (PC: X)
