Tragic Plane Crash in Ahmedabad Claims at Least 204 Lives

Devastating incident marks India's deadliest aviation disaster in decades


On June 12, 2025, an Air India flight met with a catastrophic accident shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, capturing global attention with its tragic consequences.



In a harrowing incident, an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner, destined for London, crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad, India, resulting in the loss of at least 204 lives, making it the deadliest aviation disaster in the country since 1996. The flight, carrying 242 individuals, predominantly had 169 Indians aboard, alongside 53 Britons, seven Portuguese, and one Canadian.

The tragedy unfolded as the aircraft collided with a building on the campus of a medical college, which tragically resulted in the deaths of five students on the ground. Emergency services quickly engaged in rescue operations, but the fate of those onboard remained uncertain in the immediate aftermath. Videos from the scene depicted clouds of smoke rising from the wreckage, which was marked by the shattered remains of the aircraft.

Social media is flooded with images and videos showing the devastation, including emergency workers battling the flames and fog over the crash site. Some survivors from the incident were reported to have been transported to local hospitals, although it remains unclear whether these individuals were passengers or persons impacted on the ground.

The unexpected calamity has stirred emotions across the nation as families await news about their loved ones. Rescue teams continue their grim work, retrieving bodies and clearing debris from the site. The emotional toll of this disaster resonates deeply through the affected community and beyond as Gujarat mourns one of its darkest days in aviation history.

As investigations begin, the focus will likely turn to the causes of the flight's failure, as officials and aviation experts assess the circumstances leading to this tragic event.
