Ahmedabad: After a tragic airplane crash near Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad that claimed the lives of 244 people, Air India has changed the flight number of the Ahmedabad-Gatwick route (from Ahmedabad to London). This was done to erase the painful memories of the crash.

An Air India flight carrying 242 people has crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad Airport in western India on its way to London's Gatwick airport.

At the hospital in Ahmedabad, family members were giving DNA samples, waiting for official confirmation of their loss in the Air India disaster, and remembering their loved ones.

A woman has been rushed to hospital after a collision between a bike and a bus outside London Bridge station. City of London police officers were called to the scene at around 8am during the Wednesday morning rush hour, and closed the bridge to all northbound traffic.

Jamal Yahya Pratley, 24, who lived in Hackney, died in hospital on April 18, six days after he was critically injured in collision with a van at the junction of Bloomsbury Street and New Oxford Street.
