Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

As the investigation continued Friday into the horrific Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash that killed at least 290 people, the sole survivor is doing well but is "psychologically disturbed."

More than 290 people are feared to have died after a plane bound for London crashed into a residential area shortly after taking off from an airport in India’s western city of Ahmedabad.

A "much-loved" nurse who had two children has been named as a victim of the Air India plane crash. Renjitha Gopakumaran Nair had just resigned from her job in Portsmouth, Hampshire, and was finalising a permanent move back home to India, her family said.

The crash happened just weeks after the company cut a deal with the U.S. government to avoid taking criminal responsibility for a pair of deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.

When there is a plane crash anywhere in the world, there is a big investigation to find out what happens. Governments and airlines then use the information from that investigation to make flying even safer. That's why flying by plane is one of the safest ways to get anywhere. It is normal to feel upset when news like this happens.
