I covered the Air India plane crash by confirming the deaths of 241 passengers and reporting that the only known survivor was a British national earlier this year, with my role being to gather the verified information available at the time and present it clearly, focusing on what was confirmed rather than on speculation, bringing together key details from official statements and early reports to give readers a concise overview of what had happened and what was known in the immediate aftermath of the crash:

• Air India confirm 241 killed and one British survivor in plane crash

• Everything we know so far about doomed Air India flight as 241 confirmed dead

• One survivor reported to be British on board Air India crash

• Welsh family reported to be travelling on Air India flight
