Following the heartbreaking crash of Air India Flight 171 on June 12, King Charles III and Queen Camilla have issued a deeply emotional statement, offering their sympathy to those affected by the disaster.
A Devastating Incident Shortly After Takeoff
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, headed for Gatwick Airport, went down shortly after departing from Ahmedabad, India. Onboard were 242 people, including 53 British citizens. Tragically, the plane crashed into a densely populated neighborhood in the Meghaninagar area, reportedly hitting a residential complex used by medical professionals.
Authorities confirmed that the aircraft lost contact with air traffic control just moments after takeoff, climbing only to an altitude of 625 feet before vanishing from radar. A brief distress signal was the last communication before the fatal crash.
