Tributes have been paid to a student and keen cricketer who was killed in the Air India plane crash. Dirdh Patel, 23, who studied at the University of Huddersfield, was one of 241 passengers and crew members who died when the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner travelling from Ahmedabad to London crashed on Thursday.

Lawrence Christian had flown to India to bury his father. A fortnight later, his family is now waiting to bury him.

The technical investigation into the crash of Air India’s Boeing 787-8 aircraft operating flight AI-171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick is being conducted by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB).

The Air India flight fell from the sky on Thursday and killed at least 270 people in Gujarat state, officials said Saturday.

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.

There’s nothing that makes any airplane seat safer than anywhere else on a plane, aviation experts say, and it’s usually not worth trying to game out safety when selecting where to sit for a flight.
