crashed into a medical college hostel in the western Indian city

of Ahmedabad this week, a hospital official told reporters on

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with 242 people on board

bound for Gatwick Airport on Thursday began losing height

moments after take-off and erupted in a fireball as it hit

buildings below.
