Rescue teams with trained dogs continue to search the crash site of the Air India Boeing 787, which went down yesterday (Thursday) in a residential area of the city of Ahmedabad, leaving only one survivor of the 242 people on board and causing the deaths of more than 20 people in the buildings it crashed into before bursting into flames.

According to the Hindustan Times, one of the two “black boxes” of the aircraft has already been located. The Civil Aviation Authority of India said it has launched a formal investigation into the plane crash in accordance with international protocols. It includes experts from Britain (because of the British citizens killed on the flight, which was bound for Gatwick), the United States and representatives of Boeing.

On Friday, NDTV reported that the Indian government is considering grounding Air India’s fleet of Boeing 787s after the tragedy that claimed the lives of more than 260 people, according to Reuters.

Senior police officer Kannan Desai said 265 bodies have been counted, suggesting at least 24 people were killed on the ground. The aircraft crashed into a hostel housing medical students, doctors and their families, with the “nose” and front landing gear ending up on the canteen building where the students were having lunch.
