Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad's Meghani area!
The Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, crashed shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport while heading to London with 242 people onboard, including 2 pilots and 10 cabin crew members.
There are no official details on casualties yet, but rescue operations are underway. Emergency services, including fire engines and ambulances, have been deployed to the site. The intensity of the fire, fueled by the aircraft's full fuel load, has made rescue efforts challenging.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will lead the probe into the crash, with possible assistance from Boeing. Authorities are working to recover the aircraft's black box, which will be crucial in determining the cause of the crash.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke to Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, assuring full support from the NDRF teams and the Central Government for rescue and relief operations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke to Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu regarding the crash.
Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was reportedly on board the flight.#BinanceHODLerRESOLV $XRP
