As Air India flight crashes in Ahmedabad, a look at other plane accidents this year across the world
A London-bound Air India flight carrying 242 passengers and crew members crashed in Ahmedabad's Meghani Nagar just outside the airport perimetre Thursday afternoon. The aircraft, a Boeing Dreamliner, took off around 1.47 pm, but crashed 9 minutes after being given clearance for take-off. Three National Disaster Response Force teams, comprising 95 personnel, have been moved from Gandhinagar to the plane crash site. A total of three more teams are being moved from Vadodara. 1. On May 22, a small plane crashed into the Murphy Canyon neighbourhood of San Diego, California, resulting in multiple fatalities. The crash caused fires that damaged several homes and vehicles, and forced evacuations across several blocks. The FAA identified the aircraft as a Cessna 550, an aircraft that typically seats six to eight people. 2. In a tragic incident near San Diego on June 9, a small aircraft carrying six people crashed into the ocean about eight kilometres off the coast. US officials said the plane was a twin-engine Cessna 414, which went down around 12:30 pm shortly after take-off. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed the crash and launched an investigation into what led to the accident. 3. The same day a skydiving plane with at least 20 people on board crashed in Coffee County, Tennessee, about 60 miles south of Nashville. The crash took place near the Tullahoma Regional Airport. According to city spokesperson Lyle Russell, several people were injured and received medical treatment. There were no fatalities in this crash. 4. On April 27, another fatal crash occurred in a rural part of Tennessee, where a single-engine Mooney M20TN went down about a mile south of a small airport in Sparta. All three people on board were killed. The FAA confirmed the crash and began an investigation into the cause. 5. One person died and nine others sustained burn injuries after an aircraft crashed and exploded near the village of Akali Khurd, close to Bathinda on May 7. The crash took place in the fields just 20 km from the Bhisiana Air Force Station.
