Two survivors have been found after an Air India flight headed for London Gatwick with more than 240 people on board crashed in India shortly after takeoff on Thursday, according to a report.
There were previously believed to be no survivors when the plane plummeted into a residential area shortly after leaving an airport in the western city of Ahmedabad. Footage from the scene showed huge clouds of black smoke billowing from the crash site.
A report from Ani news agency, citing police, said one survivor was found before another was found in hospital in treatment.
More than 204 bodies have been recovered from the crash site, local police said, but the total fatality count remains unclear as rescuers work through the charred wreckage.
There were 242 people on board the flight, including 12 crew members. Air India said the passengers included 169 Indians, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese citizens and one Canadian.
