Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
A London-bound Air India plane carrying 242 people crashes shortly after take-off in Ahmedabad, western India
The local police chief tells the BBC that 204 bodies have been recovered - it's not known how many of those victims were on the plane, or were on the ground when the plane crashed
One passenger has survived, a local police chief says, with Indian media reporting he is British man Vishwashkumar Ramesh
Ramesh - who shared a picture of his boarding pass with reporters - says: "Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise... it all happened so quickly"
The BBC has spoken to a relative of Ramesh in Leicester - he says they are still awaiting news on another family member who was on board
There were 169 Indian nationals, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese nationals and one Canadian on the flight, Air India says
The plane crashed into accommodation used by doctors - one woman describes how her son survived by jumping from the second floor window.
