There are expected to be no survivors on the Gatwick-bound Boeing that crashed in India this morning carrying 242 passengers, including 53 Britons.
‘It appears there are no survivors in the plane crash,’ regional police chief G.S. Malik told reporters as rescue teams carried out desperate efforts to locate victims.
Malik went on to say that the plane crashed in a residential area with some offices, adding: “Some locals would have also died.”
“Our office is near the building where the plane crashed. We saw people from the building jumping from the second and third floor to save themselves. The plane was in flames,” said one resident to various media outlets on the condition of anonymity.
‘When we reached the spot there were several bodies lying around and firefighters were dousing the flames,’ resident Poonam Patni told AFP.
‘Many of the bodies were burned,’ she added.
