At least 270 died when the Air India flight crashed into the campus of a medical college in Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff on Thursday. Only one passenger among the 242 aboard survived. At least 29 others on the ground, including five medical students inside the hostel, were also killed.
The Fire Department believes the pilots of Air India flight AI 171 saved thousands of lives by making a critical decision within just 15 seconds — choosing to land the aircraft in an open green zone to minimise casualties.
The relief package includes Rs 1 crore aid to the families of each of the four deceased students, Rs 20 lakh each to five seriously injured students, and Rs 20 lakh each for the families of doctors who lost their loved ones in the crash.
