About this episode
An Air India flight bound for Gatwick Airport crashed not long after takeoff on Thursday, with more than 50 British nationals on board.
Local officials are scrambling to find survivors after shocking footage emerged of the plane hitting the ground and bursting into flames in Ahmedabad, Gujarat state.
Camilla and Tim speak with aviation safety expert Professor Graham Braithwaite about what could have gone wrong; why the minutes after takeoff are so critical; and the safety record of the Boeing aircraft involved.
