Search and recovery teams are continuing the search at the site of one of India's worst aviation disasters, which occurred when an Air India flight tragically crashed in Gujarat state. The incident resulted in the loss of at least 270 lives. The recovery efforts have been ongoing for three days, with officials reporting that the London-bound Boeing 787 collided with a medical college hostel in Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff. The crash claimed the lives of 241 individuals onboard and at least 29 on the ground, although one passenger miraculously survived. The survivor, Viswash Kumar Ramesh, shared his account of the harrowing experience, where he managed to escape the wreckage with a burnt hand. The investigation into the crash has begun, with a committee established to determine the causes and prevent similar incidents in the future. Additionally, recovery teams have retrieved the plane's digital flight data recorder, a crucial piece of evidence that could shed light on the reasons behind the accident.
