The lone survivor of the Air India plane crash on June 12 that killed hundreds of people near Ahmedabad, a city in the Indian state of Gujarat, said he walked out of a broken emergency exit after the aircraft hit a medical college hostel minutes after take-off.

A total of 230 passengers and 12 crew members were on board flight AI171 flying to London, Gatwick. The 12-year-old Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft departed from Ahmedabad at 1:38 p.m. local time, according to Air India.
