# Tragic Plane Crash in Gujarat: A Devastating Day for Medical Students
A passenger plane crash in India leaves dozens dead and several students trapped in a college dining hall.
On June 12, 2025, the peaceful lunch hour for medical school students in Gujarat abruptly turned into a scene of horror when an Air India plane en route to London crashed into their dining hall. As the wreckage smoldered, emergency workers battled to rescue trapped students and recover the deceased amid the rubble.
According to Minakshi Parikh, dean of B.J. Medical College, five students lost their lives instantly in the incident, while an estimated 10-12 individuals were caught in the flames. The shocking aftermath of the disaster, which took place in Ahmedabad, has claimed at least 204 lives, marking it as India's deadliest aviation calamity since 1996.
Verified footage reveals heart-stopping moments as the ill-fated jetliner appeared to glide dangerously before erupting in a fireball upon impact. Images from the scene depict a grim tableau - medical personnel hurriedly carrying victims to ambulances and the debris of the aircraft scattered across the area.
Witnesses have described the catastrophic scene: the plane's tail staked into the medical college building while the twisted wreckage sprawled out on the ground. Firefighters diligently worked to extinguish the flames that engulfed adjoining structures and trees threatening to collapse under the weight of soot and destruction.
As ambulance sirens wailed and a steady stream of rescuers shuttled victims to nearby hospitals, the atmosphere remained one of panic and uncertainty. Medical staff mobilized swiftly, reflecting the urgency of the moment as they navigated a chaotic emergency room flooded with injured victims and distraught families.
This tragedy has not only shaken the local community but reverberated across the nation, drawing condolences and support from expressions of grief on social media. Mourners reflect on the heavy toll that this accident has taken, particularly on the young lives abruptly cut short.
As investigations commence into the crash, authorities are faced with the profound loss and a mandate to ensure that such a disaster does not happen again, while the families of the victims grapple with their grief in the wake of heartbreaking losses.
