Incredible new footage shows the sole survivor of the devastating Air India crash walking away calmly from the wreckage — as the aircraft explodes in a huge fireball behind him.

Air India has faced numerous deadly incidents, including the recent crash of flight 171, which killed 241, and past tragedies like the 1985 bombing and 2020 crash.

Air India's Chairman N. Chandrasekaran on Monday told staff that last week's plane crash that killed at least 271 people should be a catalyst to build a safer airline, urging employees to stay resolute amid any criticism.

The seven-year-old Boeing 787-8 had only reached 22,000 feet before it hit the unexpected descent — prompting the pilot to turn the aircraft around quickly, according to AirNav radar.

The incident follows the Air India crash in Ahmedabad when a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed minutes after taking off, killing 241 people onboard.

A lady who worked as a flight attendant was one of the people who died in the devastating Air India plane crash that happened in Ahmedabad and killed many.

Close on the heels of the mishap involving an Air India flight from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, a domestic flight of the airline carrying 168 passengers developed a technical issue immediately after take-off from Delhi to Vadodara on Sunday evening.

All but one of the 242 people on board the London-bound flight died when it crashed into a residential area in Ahmedabad shortly after take-off.
