On Thursday afternoon, a Boeing 787 aircraft en route from Ahmedabad to London crashed in the BMJ Medical College campus area, just 5 km from the airport. Our reporter brings you live visuals and ground updates from the spot where the tail of the aircraft still lies embedded in a building.

The area has suffered extensive damage — this includes the mess where students were gathered during lunchtime and the postgraduate hostel nearby. The crash has resulted in confirmed casualties among both passengers and local residents, including students and possibly bystanders.

Rescue and recovery efforts continue. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), forensic teams, and aviation authorities are on the ground. The focus now shifts to retrieving the black box — both the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) — to understand what caused the fatal crash.
