More than 200 people have been found dead at the crash site of a Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliner operated by Air India that was bound for London, according to police officials.
Flight AI171 crashed shortly after taking off in Ahmedabad. It’s the worst accident involving the US planemaker’s most advanced twin-aisle aircraft.
Officials didn’t immediately say how many of those people were passengers, crew or area residents.
“We have found 204 bodies, we are looking for more bodies,” Police Commissioner G.S. Malik told Bloomberg. “There is a chance that there may be survivors. 41 injured are being treated. These include people who were staying in the residential area.”
The flight was carrying 242 passengers and crew.
George Ferguson on Bloomberg Intelligence talks about the crash, the Dreamliner aircraft and what happens next.
