A London-bound Air India plane carrying 242 people crashed shortly after take-off in Ahmedabad, western India. The plane - a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner - gave a mayday call to air traffic control after taking off, but then gave no response. Later it was reported that there has been at least one survivor. Officials are also saying that the plane crashed into a doctors' hostel, an accommodation for local medical professionals.
