STORYLINE:
An Air India passenger plane bound for London with more than 240 people on board crashed Thursday in India’s northwestern city of Ahmedabad, and there were no known survivors, officials said.
Black smoke billowed from the site where the plane went down in a populated area near the airport in Ahmedabad, a city of more than 5 million and the capital of Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state.
Firefighters doused the smoking wreckage of the plane, which would have been fully loaded with fuel shortly after takeoff, and adjacent multistory buildings with water.
Many charred bodies lay on the ground and one was carried away on a stretcher by first responders.
Indian television news channels reported that the plane crashed on top of the dining area of a medical college hostel and visuals showed a portion of the aircraft atop the building.
It was unclear if any medical students were present inside the building at the time of the crash.
The airline said the Gatwick Airport-bound flight was carrying 242 passengers and crew.
Of those, Air India said there were 169 Indians, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese and one Canadian.
