[email protected] Hundreds killed in plane crash in India. Na céadta maraithe i dtubaiste eitleáin san India. Around 300 people are reported to have been killed in a plane crash that occurred in western India. Tuairiscítear gur maraíodh thart ar 300 duine i dtubaiste eitleáin a tharla in iarthar na hIndia. The plane, which was en route to London, crashed shortly after leaving the airport in the city of Ahmedabad in the state of Gujarat. Thuairt an t-eitleán a bhí ar a bealach go Londain go gairid tar éis di an t-aerfort i gcathair Ahmedabad i stát Gujarat a fhágáil. There were 242 people on board the Air India plane that crashed in a residential area near the airport. Bhí 242 duine san eitleán le Air India a thuairt i gceantar cónaithe gar don aerfort. It hit a medical college and students are reported to be among the dead. Bhuail sí coláiste leighis agus tuairiscítear go bhfuil mic léinn i measc na marbh. The plane is understood to have been a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which is a relatively modern aircraft. Tuigtear gur Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner a bhí san eitleán, ar árthach réasúnta nua-aimseartha í. She left Ahmedabad at 1.39 pm, Indian time, and was scheduled to land at Gatwick Airport in London at 6.25 pm, UK time. D'fhág sí Ahmedabad ag 1.39 i.n., am na hIndia, agus bhí sí le tuirlingt in Aerfort Gatwick i Londain ag 6.25 i.n., am Shasana. The pilot reportedly made a mayday call before crashing, but it appears that no further communication was received from him after that. Tuairiscítear gur chuir an píolóta glao mayday sular thuairt sí ach dealraíonn sé nár tháinig aon scéala eile uaidh ina dhiaidh sin. Most of the passengers were Indian citizens, but there were also people from Britain and Portugal. Saoránaigh na hIndia ab ea formhór na bpaisinéirí, agus bhí daoine ón mBreatain agus ón bPortaingéil ina measc leis. It is too early to say what caused the accident but some experts say the plane's landing gear was visible before it crashed even though it should have been hidden in the belly of the plane. Tá sé róluath le rá cad ba chúis leis an timpiste ach deir roinnt saineolaithe go raibh fearas tuirlingthe an eitleáin le feiceáil sular thuairt sí cé gur cheart dó a bheith i bhfolach i mbolg an eitleáin.
