This is reported by Associated Press, ABC News.
On June 12, 2025, as a result of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, at least 240 people died. The Boeing 787 aircraft crashed onto the grounds of a medical training facility shortly after takeoff. One passenger survived, but all others on board perished.
