00:00This video is brought to you by the National Anthem.
02:30I want to brief you on a serious incident that involved an Air India aircraft a short while ago.
02:36But first and most importantly, I would like to express our deep sorrow about this event.
02:41This is a difficult day for all of us at Air India and our efforts now are focused entirely on the needs of our passengers, crew members, their families and loved ones.
02:53I know that there are many questions, and at this stage I will not be able to answer all of them, but I do want to share the information we have at this time.
03:03Air India flight AI-171, operated with a Boeing 787-8 aircraft, travelling from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, has been involved in an accident after takeoff.
03:17Flight AI-171 was carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members on board.
03:25Of the passengers, 169 are Indian nationals, 53 are British nationals, there are seven Portuguese nationals and one Canadian national.
03:38The injured passengers have been taken by local authorities to the nearest hospitals, and we are actively working with the authorities on all emergency response efforts.
03:49Our special team of caregivers from Air India is on their way to Ahmedabad to provide additional support.
03:56The investigations will take time, but anything we can do now, we are doing.
04:03We know that many people are concerned for the welfare of their loved ones.
04:08We have set up a special helpline that friends and family can reach us at.
04:12The number is 1-800-56-91444, that is 1-800-56-91444.
04:27We understand that people are eager for information, and please know that we will continue to share accurate and timely information as soon as we can.
04:37But anything we report must be accurate and not speculative.
04:42We owe that to everyone involved.
04:44For now, our teams are working around the clock to support passengers, crew and their families, as well as investigators, however we can.
05:28I am totally shaken by the incident that has happened today near Ahmedabad airport.
05:49a very tragic, very tragic and very very horrific and even, till now, I have to say, I am in a state of shock.
05:56Also, Honorable PM has called me and also told me to be there at the site and also look into the operations which has going on right now.
06:04And right now, if you ask me, I can only think about the passengers, their families, what they might be going through
06:11What they might be going through and especially the civilians also who are there near the crash site
06:18Lot of relief effort has been done already
06:21right from Indian Army
06:24NDRF state police
06:27Medical departments including aviation concern departments everyone has attended immediately the fire department
06:34To the best of their abilities. They have been functioning here and doing the rescue operations
06:41The
07:01Plane crash was terrible. I've already told them anything we can do. It's a big country a strong country
07:06They'll handle it. I'm sure but I let them know that anything we can do. We'll be over there immediately
07:12But it was a horrific crash. It looks like most are gone. They actually maybe have a couple survivors, which is just hurt
07:20But that was a horrible crash. Nobody knows. Nobody has any idea what it might be. I gave him a couple of
07:27Pointers I said, maybe you'll look at this or that. You know, we saw the plane. It looked like it was
07:31Flying pretty well. It didn't look like there was an explosion
07:36Just look like the engines maybe lost power, but boy that is a terrible crash. It's one of the worst in aviation history. Yeah
