Video shows Air India Plane Crash
Air India flight crashes with 242 on board
Video shows an Air India passenger plane losing height shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad then crashing into a neighbourhood near the city’s main airport.
More than 200 people were on board and there are fears of yet more casualties on the ground.
The video shows the aircraft taking off from Ahmedabad Airport in the northwestern Indian state of Gujarat.
But just seconds after the plane is airborne, it can be see struggling to gain altitude and instead begins descending towards buildings, with its wheels still out and its nose raised.
A huge explosion can be seen followed by thick black plumes of smoke rising into the skies.
Verified footage taken in central Ahmedabad showed huge plumes of black smoke in the sky.
Emergency services were involved in a rescue operation and trying to extinguish a fire, and described seeing bodies being taken from the area.
There appeared to be "no survivors" from the crash and "some locals" would have died given where the plane came down. Malik later said one person had survived, with that person reported to be a British national.
