News has emerged that the sole survivor of the Air India plane crash that killed 241 out of 242 flyers yesterday (12 Jun) was sitting in the same seat as the survivor of a similarly devastating incident.<\/p>\n
A\u00a0Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner<\/a>\u00a0collided with a\u00a0doctors’<\/a>\u00a0hostel yesterday just minutes after taking off from Ahmedabad in\u00a0Western India<\/a>. The aircraft was scheduled to land at Gatwick Airport in London at 18:25 local time, following a 09:50 departure.<\/p>\n A mayday call was made to air traffic control officers by those in the cockpit just\u00a0seconds after takeoff<\/a>, however, marking ‘the last signal’ from those on board.<\/p>\n Authorities on the ground in India subsequently suggested that there would likely be\u00a0‘no survivors’ on board the plane<\/a>, after footage shared online showed the commercial jet landing in a residential area – before exploding.<\/p>\n
