In a chilling twist that\u2019s being called a miracle, a single passenger rose from the ashes and walked away from the wreckage of Air India Flight 171 \u2013 a catastrophe that has claimed the lives of at least 241 people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In one of the deadliest aviation disasters in recent Indian history, more than 200 people lost their lives when an Air India\u00a0flight<\/a>\u00a0crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, carrying 242 people including passengers and crew, had taken off at 1:38 p.m. local time, and slammed into a medical college campus just minutes after leaving Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.<\/p>\n

Images from the crash site show surreal devastation: fragments of the aircraft strewn across rooftops, burned-out classrooms, charred\u00a0bodies<\/a>\u00a0carried from the streets, and \u2013 most jarring of all \u2013 a large section of the aircraft\u2019s tail embedded in a collapsed wing of the college building.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u2018No survivors\u2019<\/h2>\n

The catastrophe unfolded in the blink of an eye \u2013 but its impact will be felt for a lifetime.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears there are no survivors in the plane crash,\u201d the Ahmedabad Police Commissioner G.S. Malik told\u00a0AP<\/a>, confirming at the time 204 bodies had been recovered.<\/p>\n

He further added that since the aircraft went down in a densely populated residential area that also housed several offices, it is likely that \u201csome locals would have also died.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExact figures on casualties are being ascertained,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Sole survivor<\/h2>\n

But in an emotional and unexpected revelation, Malik announced that one individual had been found alive amidst the devastation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy earlier statement was misquoted. One individual has been found alive. He is currently undergoing treatment in hospital. Doctors are closely monitoring status,\u201d he told\u00a0local media<\/a>.<\/p>\n
