An Air India plane bound for London crashed in a residential area of Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff Thursday, killing 241 people on board, the airline said. One passenger who was thrown from the plane survived. An unknown number of people on the ground were killed in the crash, including medical students in a college hostel when the plane hit the building, said Vidhi Chaudhary, a top state police officer in the northwestern city. “Most of the bodies have been charred beyond recognition,” she said. Indian Home Minister Amit Shah confirmed that he met the sole survivor at the hospital. A doctor said he had examined the survivor, whom he identified as Vishwashkumar Ramesh.
