Three days after the crash, only 35 bodies had been handed over to relatives from an overall official death toll of 270.

Doctors in India say 270 bodies have been recovered from the site of Thursday's plane crash in Ahmedabad. The London-bound aircraft crashed into a residential area shortly after take-off killing all but one of the 242 passengers and crew members, a 40-year-old British man.

The Air India flight fell from the sky on Thursday and killed at least 270 people in Gujarat state, officials said Saturday.
