The London-bound 787 Dreamliner crashed into a medical school minutes after departure, killing at least 260 people, including nearly all 242 on board. One passenger miraculously survived.
Flames tore through the building, claiming more lives on the ground. The exact number of casualties is still unknown.
Modi, accompanied by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, met emergency teams and pledged full support to the victims’ families.
Rescue operations remain underway, as crews sift through debris. “It’s a tragedy we won’t forget,” said one rescuer.
