Air India plane crash investigators reportedly 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.

The Air India Flight AI171 crashed after takeoff from Ahmedabad. Arjun Manubhai Patolia died in the crash. He was returning to London after his wife's death. He fulfilled her wish to immerse ashes in the Narmada River.

A 55-year-old woman from Anand in Gujarat on her way to London for her elder daughter’s delivery was among the 241 killed on board the Air India flight that crashed in Ahmedabad, a kin said on Friday.

The tragedy struck on June 12, 2025, when Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, took off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, bound for London. The flight issued a mayday call shortly after takeoff and crashed into a hospital hostel near the airport, bursting into flames on impact.
