An Air India flight crashed Thursday shortly after takeoff, and the footage, to say the least, is tough to watch.
[Warning: The following videos do not show any dead bodies, but they are graphic nonetheless]
I'll spare you the videos I saw this morning of charred bodies in the wreckage (and people filming the bodies). The scene is chaotic, to say the least.
242 people were onboard the Boeing 787, which has become the first 787 crash in history, when it crashed in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad on Thursday as it was taking off for London.
There appear to be no survivors.
More from Reuters:
India's CNN News-18 TV channels said the plane crashed on top of the dining area of state-run B.J. Medical College hostel, killing many medical students as well. It showed a visual of a portion of the aircraft perched atop the building.
Rescue workers said that at least 30 to 35 bodies had been recovered from the site and that more people were trapped.
A multi-story building at the scene seems to have taken the brunt of the impact (787 Dreamliners can carry over 100 tons of fuel). A smaller dorm/cafeteria was hit by the tail section of the plane, reportedly while students were eating lunch.
We'll let you know if we learn why the plane crashed, along with the updated death toll.
