An Air India Boeing 787-8 flight headed for New Delhi returned to Hong Kong shortly after takeoff Monday because of a "technical issue," Indian media reported.

Medical students who survived when an Air India plane crashed into their hostel in Ahmedabad say their first reaction was to help treat the injured.

Officials said they had found the cockpit voice recorder that may provide crucial clues about what caused the Air India flight to crash, killing at least 270 people.

The Air India flight fell from the sky on Thursday and killed at least 270 people in Gujarat state, officials said Saturday.

Boeing's CEO pulled out of the Paris Air Show following the Air India crash, which has set a somber mood for the aviation and defense event at Le Bourget.

Three days after the crash, only 35 bodies had been handed over to relatives from an overall official death toll of 270.

As part of ongoing investigations, the plane’s black boxes are being analysed. A black box records flight data, and includes a cockpit voice recorder for pilot exchanges and cockpit sounds. It will also pick up engine sounds. Today (Monday 16th) it’s been reported the cockpit recordings have been found.
