Gantgula and Timegulas have a summit suthly
Ahmedabad, India, June 15 (Reuters) – about 30 minutes before the Air India aircraft crashed into a college hostel in India, Ravi Thakor, chef in the hostel and his wife to add lunch boxes – leaving her two -year -old daughter and his mother.
Grandmother and child are missing. Thakor hopes what he calls the “second miracle”, such as the amazing survival of a single passenger between 242 people aboard the plane.
Thakor said he first thought that the loud bang he had heard when the plane crashed in the western city of Ahmedabad on Thursday, but soon noticed that the building he had just left was absorbed by the flames. He has been looking for his mother and his daughter in hospitals and a morgue for days.
The police told Reuters that he considered this to be the case of missing people.
“If one of the aircraft passengers could survive the crash, there could be a second miracle, and my mother and daughter could also be safe,” Thakor told Reuters outside one of the hospitals. His wife Lalita stood beside him, a stone face.
“We realize that the chances of finding them alive are bleak, but we have not given up hope,” Thakor said.
Overall, at least 271 people – 241 passengers and crews on the plane and other people on Earth, mostly in the hostel building, died in the accident.
Thakor and his wife gave samples of their DNA to the authorities of hospitals, but they only have to hear whether there were any matches among the deceased.
Families of victims were waiting for the remains of their loved ones, because DNA profiling and other identification checks require time. Another superintendent hospital, Rajnish patel, said on Sunday that only 32 deceased samples were compared.
When the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner Jet hit the hostel on Thursday, many students ate lunch. On several tables that were left when Reuters visited the place later, they lay on several tables that were left with intact plates and plates.
Thakor’s mother was still cooked when he and his wife left the hostel that day to add lunch boxes, and just swing his daughter to sleep on a wooden swing, he said. “It is possible that someone took my daughter to the chaos that followed,” he said.
Of the 242 on board the aircraft was the only passenger to survive, Viswashkumar Ramesh, 40, who cursed a broken hatch after the plane crashed and only emerged with minor injuries. (Writing Aditya Kalra; Editing Raju GoPalakrishnan)
