The Air India crash will go down as one of the most deadly aviation disasters of the 21st century. Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, was travelling from Ahmedabad, India, to London Gatwick, United Kingdom, and crashed shortly after take-off at 13:38. To rub salt into the wound, the plane crashed into a dense urban area, specifically a building providing accommodation for doctors.
A day later, and the death toll continues to rise. 241 people aboard the aircraft and eight people on the ground are confirmed to have lost their lives, though many within the building the plane hit remain missing.
