The aftermath of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad has grown even more devastating, with the death toll now at 274—including 33 people on the ground. Search teams recovered the plane’s black box from the rooftop of a medical college mess hall, a critical piece of evidence that could help explain why the flight went down. Authorities suspect some of the victims were students or staff from the nearby BJ Medical College campus, adding another layer of tragedy to an already horrific event.
Editor’s Note: Plane crashes are rare, but when they happen, the human cost is staggering—not just for passengers but for people on the ground, too. This story underscores the ripple effects of such disasters, from grieving families to the urgent need for answers about what went wrong. The recovery of the black box is a small but crucial step toward accountability and preventing future tragedies.
