A black box has been found at the site of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, India's civil aviation minister said on Friday. The flight data recorder was recovered within 28 hours by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB),

The sole survivor of the Air India plane crash said that he climbed out of a broken emergency exit after the aircraft hit a medical college hostel in the city of Ahmedabad, killing more than 240 people.

Air India plane crash investigators reportedly find the first of the "black boxes" from the Boeing 787-8 that slammed into buildings, killing all but one of the 242 people on board.
