An Air India flight tragically crashed just minutes after taking off from Ahmedabad Airport on June 12, killing at least 265 people. The aircraft, en route to London Gatwick, climbed to only 625 feet before crashing about four miles from the runway. It reportedly struck a medical college dormitory during its descent.

The flight was carrying 242 passengers, most of whom were Indian and British nationals.

The pilots, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder, had issued a mayday call, stating: “Mayday… no thrust, losing power, unable to lift,” indicating sudden engine failure.
