Wednesday, June 12, 2025, Ahmedabad — A catastrophic catastrophe that has horrified the nation occurred when an Air India Dreamliner aircraft crashed into the grounds of BJ Medical College shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The incident has stunned the nation due to its devastating nature.
The incident took place during the busiest time of day for students to eat lunch, which was when the dining hall of the hostel was busy with people. In accordance with the exclusive information that The Philox obtained from a close source within the police department, a total of 48 bodies have been recognized as of this moment. It is thought that the majority of these bodies belong to medical students who were eating in the mess hall whenever the aircraft struck the building.
At around 1:38 PM Indian Standard Time (IST), the aircraft, which was operating as Air India Flight AI-171 to London Gatwick, took off and reported experiencing technical difficulties barely a few moments into the flight. In a matter of minutes, it lost altitude and fell into the doctors’ hostel at BJ Medical College. This caused a large explosion, which was then followed by fire and debris that devoured portions of the college’s dining and residential facilities.
Due to the unfortunate timing of the collision, the scenario became much more terrible. Our police sources informed us that it was the busiest time of day for lunch in the hostel mess, and the majority of the students were present there. The force of the hit was so great that it caused many compartments of the building to collapse in an instant.
Within a matter of minutes, emergency reaction teams were dispatched to the scene. These teams included the Ahmedabad Fire Services, the Indian Army, and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). For several hours, rescue activities have been going on, and medical personnel have been ministering to dozens of injured kids, some of whom are in critical condition.
Our exclusive source from a top police official reveals that as many as 48 students have been verified deceased, with identification still being carried out. This is in contrast to the official toll from the authorities, which shows that there have been five student deaths and approximately fifty injuries.
A total of approximately 242 individuals were on board the airplane, with 230 passengers and 12 staff members making up the overall number of passengers. In spite of the fact that first reports reported that every passenger on board had been killed, subsequent research revealed that there was one passenger who had survived. This passenger was a British-Indian national who had managed to escape by an emergency window. The majority of the passengers’ bodies had been burnt beyond recognition, which made the procedure of identification extremely time-consuming. Taking into account deaths that occurred both on board and on the ground, it is estimated that the total number of fatalities has surpassed 290.
A comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision has been initiated by the government. In addition to the fact that Boeing and GE Aerospace have been informed, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has initiated its investigation further.
A likely mechanical failure immediately after takeoff is the subject of preliminary suspicions; nevertheless, pilot error and other alternatives have not been ruled out as potential causes of the incident. The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has conveyed his warmest sympathies and pledged his unwavering support to the families of those who have lost their lives. In light of the fact that a number of British nationals were apparently on board, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, has also offered his support.
When it comes to BJ Medical College, the situation is still very dire. The professors and students are still in a state of shock, and many of them are receiving treatment for trauma. In the hopes of receiving a message from their loved ones, members of the students’ families have gone to the location. A sight of twisted metal, fractured concrete, and tragic loss has taken place in the dining hall, which was once a normal and lively location for students to unwind and reflect on their lives.
Philox is standing by its exclusive story that 48 medical students lost their lives in the catastrophe. This report is based on confirmation from a reputable source within the police department, and it comes despite the fact that official authorities have only confirmed a smaller number of deaths that occurred on the ground. The officials are concerned that the number of fatalities could increase as rescue attempts continue throughout the night. A significant number of kids are still missing.
One of the most catastrophic aircraft accidents in recent Indian history has occurred as a result of this incident. As the city of Ahmedabad mourns and the nation watches, issues are now being raised about aviation safety, emergency preparedness, and the necessity of enhanced cooperation between civil and institutional infrastructures in areas that are prone to natural disasters. As rescue and identification efforts continue, additional updates will be provided in the future.
