Air India Crash Viral Video: A tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad has left many shocked and heartbroken. The flight, which had just taken off for London, crashed shortly after leaving the airport and hit a doctors’ hostel building. The accident happened on Thursday afternoon, just five minutes after the plane took off at 1:38 pm from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The aircraft, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner (flight AI-171), crashed into Meghani Nagar, a residential area, and parts of it landed on the BJ Medical College intern hostel.

In the middle of this heartbreaking incident, a mother shared how her son managed to survive the crash. “My son had gone to the hostel during lunch break, and the plane crashed there. My son is safe, and I have spoken to him. He jumped from the second floor, so he suffered some injuries,” Ramilaben told ANI outside the hospital.
