Search and recovery teams continue to search the site of one of India’s worst aviation disasters for a third day

AHMEDABAD, India — The Air India plane crash this week was one of India’s worst aviation disasters, killing 241 people on board and several people on the ground. Indian authorities said Friday the investigation into the crash was underway and is expected to include experts from the plane’s maker Boeing and U.S. aviation regulators.

Akash was not a passenger on the ill-fated Air India Flight AI-171; in fact, he had never been on a plane. His family, recently evicted from their home, had been living on the pavement near their tea stall in the Meghaninagar area, opposite the UG hostels of BJ Medical College—the site where the aircraft crashed.
