The BBC has verified video footage showing the Air India passenger flight descending moments before it crashed on Thursday.

The video was taken from what appeared to be a residential building and shows the AI171 flight descending over a crowded residential area.

In the video, the plane continues to lower down until it disappears briefly behind some buildings and trees. Seconds later, fire and smoke erupt from the crash site.

The Boeing 787-7 aircraft was headed for England’s London Gatwick Airport and crashed shortly after taking off in the Indian city of Ahmedabad.

Of the 242 passengers and crew members on board, 169 were Indian nationals, 53 were British nationals, one was a Canadian national and seven were Portuguese nationals, according to Air India.

Ahmedabad Police Commissioner G.S. Malik said 204 bodies had been recovered from the site, but rescue workers were still searching through the debris, and there could be additional survivors from the flight, The New York Times reported.

Malik said 41 people were injured, according to the Times, which reported that it was not clear whether that figure referred to passengers or people on the ground.

Malik told The Associated Press, however, that chances of finding survivors are slim.

“It appears there are no survivors in the plane crash,” Malik told the AP.
