A harrowing video has surfaced on social media from the tragic June 12 Air India crash in Ahmedabad, capturing the terrifying moments as BJ Medical College students jumped from their burning hostel to escape and save their lives.

Dreamliner - the same type involved in last week's tragedy - was due to depart from Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 1.10pm local time (8.40am UK time).

At least 270 died when the Air India flight crashed into the campus of a medical college in Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff on Thursday. Only one passenger among the 242 aboard survived. At least 29 others on the ground, including five medical students inside the hostel, were also killed.

A new video shows the lone survivor, seated in 11A, walking out of the wreckage with his phone still in hand after the Air India flight crashed bound to London crashed in Ahmedabad.

The Fire Department believes the pilots of Air India flight AI 171 saved thousands of lives by making a critical decision within just 15 seconds — choosing to land the aircraft in an open green zone to minimise casualties.

Civil Superintendent Dr Rakesh Joshi attempted to reassure the grief-stricken families, appealing for patience amidst the time-consuming process of DNA matching.

In the video, the woman is seen smiling and giggling as she films the interior of an Air India flight. Her demeanor, given the video's context, has provoked strong reactions on social media.
