Air India crash: Plane's extensive international travel history
A tragic Air India plane crash happened just after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12, on its way to London. Out of everyone onboard, only one person survived—241 passengers lost their lives. Sadly, people on the ground, including some medical students, also died, bringing the total toll to 265. The pilots sent out a "MAYDAY" call for help, but after that, there was no further contact with air traffic control.
Aircraft had flown to Paris and Tokyo earlier this month
The aircraft (VT-ANB) had flown to places like Paris and Tokyo earlier this month and had just come in from Delhi that morning. Investigators are digging into what went wrong—they've recovered the black boxes and are checking if any past issues with the plane played a role in the crash. The hope is to find answers and make sure something like this doesn't happen again.
