A London-bound Air India plane carrying 242 people crashed into a residential area shortly after take-off in Ahmedabad, western India.

The airline says 241 people on the plane were killed – one passenger, a British national, survived and is receiving treatment in hospital.

Dramatic footage shows the aircraft taking off before coming down in a built-up area.

Plumes of black smoke are then seen rising high into the sky after an explosion. Authorities launched a major rescue operation.

Briton Vishwashkumar Ramesh survived the crash, and met the Indian home affairs minister in hospital.
