This awful crash of Air India flight AI171 happened today with 242 people on board and only one survivor. It took off from Ahmedabad, western India.
Looking at the footage, it looks like it must have lost complete engine power just after it took off, so gained barely any height before it began to sink. The why of this we'll know in time.
Footage of the whole flight starts at 14 seconds. Looking at the footage of the destruction, I wonder how it managed to destroy buildings so far apart. When these things go up, it's like a bomb has gone off.
So many thousands of people, directly and indirectly have been affected by this crash.
