What we know after Air India plane crashes with 242 people onboard near Ahmedabad airport

An Air India plane crashed Thursday at an airport in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad.

A plane carrying 242 people crashed near a major international airport in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff Thursday, killing all but one passenger, who was seen walking away from the crash with bruises on his arms.

The survivor, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national of Indian origin, is “doing well” but “psychologically disturbed” by the event, according to the medical director of the Civil Hospital, where he is being treated.

Ramesh told The Hindustan Times that “it all happened so quickly.”

“Thirty seconds after takeoff, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed,” he said.

Ramesh spoke to his father just before takeoff and then again after the plane crashed, his family told NBC News’ European partner, Sky News.
