At least 270 died when the Air India flight crashed into the campus of a medical college in Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff on Thursday. Only one passenger among the 242 aboard survived.

An Indian woman who had rescheduled her flight to surprise her husband on his birthday, tragically lost her life in the Air India crash. Her family mourned her.

Indian-origin malayali entrepreneur and philanthropist Shamsheer Vayalil Parambath has announced Rs 1 crore to each of the kin of deceased medical students who lost their lives when Air India flight AI171 crashed into the medical hostel in Ahmedabad.

Medical students who survived when an Air India plane crashed into their hostel say their first reaction was to help treat the injured.

India saw one of its worst aviation disasters, in which at least 270 people were killed, last week and new evidence indicates that both engines of the plane may have failed.
