The Air India flight—a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner bound for London Gatwick Airport—took off at 1:38 p.m. local time. Video shows the plane ascending, but then quickly losing altitude. In less than a minute, the plane was ablaze, having landed on a youth hostel building near the airport.
Insane. New footage captures the crash of Air India Flight 171 this morning.
