Air India AI-171 tragedy: The grief continues
One year after the tragic Ahmedabad plane crash, families of victims aboard Air India flight AI-171 continue to struggle with the loss of their loved ones. The London-bound flight crashed into a hostel complex in Meghaninagar shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad airport on June 12, killing 241 people on board and 19 on the ground. Only one passenger survived.
For Akash, who was waiting in London for his wife, memories of their final phone call remain vivid. Days of searching at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital ended in heartbreak when her body was identified a week later.
