At least 242 people were on board flight AI171 when it crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad airport.

The Air India crash presents a new set of problems for Boeing, which was starting to emerge from a years-long safety crisis.

One passenger survived the crash but everyone else aboard the Boeing 787 was killed. More people died on the ground after the plane crashed and generated a large fireball. Black smoke billowed from the site where the plane crashed and burst into flames near the airport in Ahmedabad, a city of more than 5 million and the capital of Gujarat.
