All Passengers on Board confirmed Dead as another aircraft crashes in India, Just three days after the fatal Air India crash in Ahmedabad, India has been hit by another aviation tragedy.

A Bell 407 helicopter crashed early Sunday morning in Gaurikund, a remote area of Uttarakhand, killing all seven people on board, including the pilot.

The aircraft went down at approximately 5:30 AM in the rugged Himalayan region, known for its treacherous weather and difficult flying conditions.

According to preliminary reports from Indian media, the helicopter was carrying five adult passengers, one infant, and the pilot at the time of the crash.

Emergency response teams were quickly dispatched to the crash site to conduct recovery operations. As of now, authorities have not released the names of the victims, pending notification of their families.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Officials have not yet commented on whether mechanical failure, weather conditions, or other factors may have played a role.

Uttarakhand has a history of aviation accidents, with mountainous terrain and unpredictable climate frequently cited as challenges for pilots operating in the region.

Sunday’s incident adds to a week of national mourning and concern over air safety in India, following the Ahmedabad air disaster earlier this week.

Aviation authorities are expected to review safety protocols and initiate a thorough investigation into both incidents.

More details are expected to emerge as recovery efforts and investigations continue.

Air India said all other passengers and crew were killed – including 169 Indian nationals and 52 British nationals.

More than 200 bodies have been recovered so far, though it is unclear how many were passengers and how many were from the ground.

Speaking from his hospital bed, Mr Ramesh said the lights inside the aircraft “started flickering” moments after take off.

Within five to 10 seconds, it felt like the plane was “stuck in the air”, he said.

“The lights started flickering green and white…suddenly slammed into a building and exploded.

“The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed into a building used as accommodation for doctors at the Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Medical College and Civil Hospital.

But Mr Ramesh, a businessman from Leicester who has a wife and four-year-old son, said the section he was sitting in landed near the ground and did not make contact with the building.

“When the door broke and I saw there was some space, I tried to get out of there and I did.”No one could have got out from the opposite side, which was towards the wall, because it crashed there.”
