New angle shows final moments of Air India flight from take-off to crash

A new angle shows the final moments - from take-off to crash - of the doomed Air India flight on its way to London, Gatwick.

CCTV footage shows the Boeing 787 Dreamliner leaving the runway at Ahmedabad Airport on Thursday (12 June) before it begins descending rapidly in its nose-up take-off angle.

Moments later the plane, with 240 people onboard, erupted into a huge fireball as it crashed into a residential area.

Authorities in India have said that 204 bodies have been recovered so far from the crash site.

Unconfirmed reports have claimed that Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national, is the sole survivor of the crash.
