A clear video of the Air India plane crash has been posted on social media.
The video shows the Boeing 787 Dreamliner taking off from the runway at Ahmedabad airport but crashing just seconds later.
As can be seen in the video, it appears that the plane had difficulty gaining altitude and crashed a few meters short of the runway in a residential area.
There were 204 passengers on board the plane and only one 40-year-old man is reported to have survived. He was sitting near the door and stated that he jumped out of the plane immediately after the crash.
According to social media commentators and aviation enthusiasts, the plane appears to have encountered hydraulic problems, failing to straighten the wings into the takeoff position.
