The aircraft, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner operating a scheduled service to London Gatwick, came down shortly after take-off, striking a residential building associated with the BJ Medical College. All 242 persons on board—comprising 230 passengers and 12 crew—were subject to the crash impact, while ground-level fatalities and injuries have also been reported. Authorities have confirmed that nationals of the UK, Portugal, and Canada were among those aboard.
