National News: The plane’s tail reportedly hit a tree during takeoff, causing it to lose control mid-air. Seconds later, the aircraft crashed in the Meghani Nagar area, close to a mental hospital. The video footage shows the aircraft engulfed in flames, thick black smoke clouding the sky. Nearby homes caught fire, and terrified residents rushed to escape the chaos. Civilians can be seen trying to douse the fire with water buckets, while others scream for help. The plane’s landing gear lies detached, and wings appear shattered as fire trucks surround the wreckage.
Emergency responders reached the spot within minutes. Firefighters began battling the blaze while paramedics attended to survivors. Multiple bodies were pulled from the debris, some badly burned. Local police quickly sealed off the area to control the crowd. Survivors were rushed to hospitals, many in critical condition.

Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was also on board. His presence escalated national interest, and political leaders rushed to express concern and demand accountability. Aviation authorities have launched an investigation. DGCA confirmed that an inquiry team has been dispatched. Meanwhile, questions are rising about the aircraft’s route, why tall trees existed near the takeoff path, and whether proper clearance was given.
As soon as news broke, panic spread to the stock market. Tata Group, which owns Air India, witnessed a steep fall in its shares. TCS dropped by over 1%. Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata Chemicals, and Tata Consumer Products all saw 2–3% falls. Experts say the crash led to a sharp erosion of investor confidence, especially in aviation-linked stocks under the Tata banner.
How did a commercial jet collide with trees near a major airport? Why were safety checks not enforced before takeoff? Were the pilots informed about the risky flight corridor? This crash has exposed critical flaws in airport infrastructure and regulatory negligence. Public trust in both aviation safety and Tata’s market stability is under pressure. The country awaits answers, and the grieving families demand justice.
