Heartbreaking Final Selfie: Doctor Parents And Kids Smile Aboard Air India Flight Before Fatal Crash
Shortly before the tragic crash of Air India Flight 171 near Ahmedabad, two doctors, Komi Vyas and Prateek Joshi, and their three children took a last selfie on board to mark their new beginning as they were relocating to London.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed minutes after takeoff, killing at least 241 people, including the family. The plane lost control shortly after takeoff, descending rapidly and exploding on impact in a residential area.
Survivor Vishwash Kumar Ramesh described the sudden crash and his escape amid wreckage and bodies.
Experts suggest possible causes such as bird strikes, engine failure, or sudden wind changes. Preliminary data shows the plane never gained proper altitude and sent a mayday call before crashing. Weather was clear at the time, ruling out turbulence or bad conditions.
Investigations continue to recover the black box and determine the exact cause of this devastating accident.
