AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) -At least 270 bodies have been recovered after a London-bound Air India plane crashed into a medical college hostel in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad this week, a hospital official told reporters on Saturday. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with 242 people on board bound for Gatwick Airport on Thursday began losing height moments after take-off and erupted in a fireball as it hit buildings below.
