More than 270 bodies recovered after plane crash in Ahmedabad, India

More than 270 bodies have been recovered from the site of Thursday’s plane crash in Ahmedabad, India.

The London-bound aircraft crashed into a residential area shortly after take-off, killing all but one of the 242 passengers and crew members – a 40-year-old British man.

BBC News says officials are still trying to find out how many people died on the ground and are slowly matching DNA samples to confirm the victims' identities.

More than thirty victims have already been identified using DNA from their relatives.

People have held vigils for the dead in India and the UK.

BBC News says about 100 people gathered outside the High Commission of India in London on Sunday, where many lit candles to remember those who died in the crash, and many are seeking answers about how and why the incident happened.

India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is leading the investigation into the crash, with help from teams from the US and UK.
