A passenger has miraculously survived the horrific plane crash which occurred on Thursday afternoon near Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, where an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner (VT-ANB) operating flight AI171 went down shortly after takeoff.
The aircraft had 242 people on board, including 230 passengers, two pilots, and 10 cabin crew members.
The passengers included 169 Indians, 53 British nationals, seven Portuguese citizens, and one Canadian national.
Tragically, 241 people are feared dead, while one person has miraculously survived the crash.
According to Ahmedabad Police Commissioner GS Malik, as quoted by Indian Express, the survivor was found in seat 11A and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital.

However, another report suggests the survivor’s identity hasn’t been publicly disclosed.
The plane crashed in a residential area, specifically near a medical students’ hostel and canteen, causing significant damage and loss of life on the ground as well.
Over 200 bodies have been recovered from the crash site, and a DNA test will be conducted to identify the victims.
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has spoken to Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel to assess the situation, and disaster response forces have been rushed to the crash site.
Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu has also visited the crash site, describing the scene as “deeply distressing.”
Tata Group, the parent company of Air India, has announced that it will provide ₹1 crore to the families of each person who has lost their life in the crash.
The group has also set up a dedicated passenger hotline number, 1800 5691 444, to provide assistance to affected families.
World leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have expressed their condolences and support to the families of the victims.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and other aviation authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.
