Indian conspiracy theorists are today making baseless claims that Pakistan is to blame for the Air India tragedy.
The Gatwick-bound 787 Dreamliner jet was engulfed in a ball of flames in the Meghani area of the city just minutes after leaving the runway.
There were 242 passengers on board the plane. Air India said there were 169 Indians, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese and one Canadian.
Eleven of those on board were children, including two newborns. Two pilots and 10 cabin crew were also aboard.
A British father sitting in seat 11A miraculously survived the fireball crash. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, spoke from the safety of a hospital bed after escaping from the fallen Flight 171 this morning.
