据当地政府称，今天早上在印度坠毁的飞往盖特威克机场的航班上，机上载有242名乘客，其中包括53名英国人，无人生还。
当地警察局长马利克在救援队拼命寻找遇难者时告诉记者，“看来飞机失事无人生还。”
他还补充说，“一些当地人也可能遇难”，因为飞机坠毁时撞上了医院附近的办公室和医生住所。
航空专家表示，印度航空171航班（波音787梦想飞机）可能在起飞后“飞行最关键的阶段”突然失去动力。
据信，可能的原因是风向急剧变化或鸟击导致双引擎失速。
印度航空事故调查局的官员目前正在现场对残骸进行分析，并取回失事飞机的黑匣子。
社交媒体上分享的视频显示，飞机机头朝上，迅速下降，随后撞上一栋建筑并发生剧烈爆炸。
目前尚不清楚遇难人数，但救援人员表示，目前已从被飞机损毁的建筑物中发现至少30具尸体。
一位不愿透露姓名的居民说，“我们的办公室就在飞机坠毁的大楼附近。我们看到大楼里的人从二楼和三楼跳下自救。飞机在燃烧。”
机上乘客包括159名印度人、53名英国人、7名葡萄牙人和1名加拿大人。机上11名儿童，其中包括两名新生儿。
There are no survivors on the Gatwick-bound flight that crashed in India this morning carrying 242 passengers, including 53 Britons, according to local authorities.
‘It appears there are no survivors in the plane crash,’ regional police chief G.S. Malik told reporters as rescue teams carried out desperate efforts to locate victims.
He added that ‘some locals would have also died’, given that the plane smashed into offices and accommodation for doctors close to a hospital as it came down.
Aviation experts say that Air India Flight 171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, may have suddenly lost power ‘at the most critical phase of flight’ after takeoff.
The possible causes are believed to include a rapid change in wind or a bird strike leading to a double engine stall.
Officials from India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau are now at the scene to carry out an analysis of the wreckage and retrieve the stricken jet’s black box.
Videos shared on social media showed the aircraft rapidly losing altitude – with its nose up – before it hit a building and erupted in a violent explosion.
The number of fatalities is not yet known but rescuers said at least 30 bodies have so far been recovered from buildings damaged by the jet.
‘Our office is near the building where the plane crashed. We saw people from the building jumping from the second and third floor to save themselves. The plane was in flames,’ said one resident, who declined to be named.
The passengers included 159 Indian nationals, 53 British, seven Portuguese, and a Canadian. Eleven of those on board were children, including two newborns.
