An Air India plane crashed in a residential area of Ahmedabad, killing 241 people on board and at least five medical students in a nearby college hostel. This was one of India's worst airline disasters in many decades. Only one person, Vishwashkumar Ramesh, survived after being thrown from the plane before it exploded. The aircraft, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, was the first of its type to crash. The Indian aviation authority said that the aircraft made an emergency call but then did not respond to further communication. Leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and King Charles III have expressed their sorrow. After the disaster, shares of Boeing Co. fell by almost 9% before trading began in the U.S.
