The Indian police officially confirmed the tragic nature of the airplane crash that occurred in Ahmedabad
According to local police commissioner Gyanendra Singh Malik, all passengers and crew of the Boeing 787 aircraft that crashed perished. Preliminary reports indicate a devastating outcome — there were no survivors on board at the time of the accident. The police chief assured news agencies in a live broadcast that "it appears that no one survived this crash," adding that details are still being clarified. According to Malik, the incident happened when the plane, which was operating a flight from Ahmedabad International Airport to London, suddenly crashed. Information about the tragedy has already spread through leading media outlets — CNN, AP, BBC — citing government and law enforcement sources. The commissioner also reported that the flight from the airport to the port city carried over 50 passengers from the UK and seven from Portugal among them. Given the scale of the tragedy, there is serious concern among local residents. He added that since the plane crashed into a residential area with developed infrastructure, there is a high probability that some of the victims may be local residents who were nearby the crash site. More detailed information about the number of casualties is currently being prepared — law enforcement and rescue teams are working at the crash site, examining the aircraft wreckage and the fall zone. Slightly more is known about the circumstances that led to the tragedy: it is preliminarily established that the plane disintegrated immediately after takeoff, but official conclusions will be made after a detailed analysis. This incident has become the largest aviation disaster in the region in recent years and raises deep concern among Indian aviation and security authorities. Investigations have been taken over by relevant agencies, and the focus is on establishing the cause of the crash. The country’s government does not exclude possible versions — from technical faults to human error — and promises full transparency in the findings. We will continue to follow the developments and provide updates as soon as additional information about the causes, scale, and consequences of this tragic air disaster in the heart of India becomes available.
