According to Trump, the plane crash seemed to occur suddenly, with the aircraft reportedly flying well before the engines possibly lost power. "We saw the plane - it looked like it was flying pretty well...it didn't look that there was any explosion (on board). Just looked like the engines maybe lost power, but boy, that was a terrible crash - looks like the worst in aviation history," he said.

The Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, carrying 242 people, including 232 passengers and 10 crew members, crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad airport en route to London's Gatwick airport. Investigations into the cause of the crash are currently underway, with Trump mentioning he provided some insights to Indian authorities.

"The plane crash was terrible. I've already told them that anything we can do, we will do (to help). India is a big country, a strong country, and they will handle it, I'm sure, but I let them know that anything the US can do, we'll be over immediately," President Trump said.

"It was a horrific crash, and it looks like most are gone. We're hearing that there may be a couple of survivors. The crash was horrible and nobody knows what exactly happened. I gave them a couple of pointers, saying, 'maybe you'd want to look at this'. We saw the plane - it looked like it was flying pretty well...it didn't look that there was any explosion (on board). Just looked like the engines maybe lost power, but boy, that was a terrible crash - looks like the worst in aviation history," he added.
