International agencies assist India's AAIB in investigating Air India crash; black box data analysis underway.

Air India plane crash investigators find the first of the "black boxes" from the Boeing 787-8 that slammed into buildings, killing all but one of the 242 people on board.

Air India Flight 171 was “involved in a tragic accident,” the airline’s chairman said. The plane was due to fly from Ahmedabad to London’s Gatwick Airport.

Air India has confirmed that 241 people, including 52 British nationals who were on board the flight, were killed in the crash.

A 28-year-old student who was visiting western India says she missed her Air India flight​ back to London. That flight was AI171​, which crashed shortly after takeoff.

Loychusak, who is now 47, recently took to Facebook to share his shock after knowing that the only survivor of the recent crash in Ahmedabad was also seated in 11A. “The lone survivor of the plane crash in India was sitting in the same seat number as me, 11A. Goosebumps,” he wrote.

It seemed impossible, but shortly after news broke that an Air India flight had crashed in the city of Ahmedabad, video started circulating on social media showing a man walking from the scene in a bloodstained shirt.
