A tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad killed 270. With 162 victims identified through DNA, 120 bodies are returned to families. Authorities focus on complete identification.

Air India crash victims identified by DNA

A tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad took 270 lives. Authorities have identified 162 victims using DNA profiling, with 120 bodies returned to families, while efforts to identify all victims continue.

In Ahmedabad, an Air India crash killed 270, with 162 identified victims and 120 bodies returned. Identification is ongoing using DNA analysis.

Five days after an Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad claimed 270 lives, 162 victims have so far been identified through DNA matching and 120 bodies handed over to their families, a Gujarat minister said on Tuesday.
Authorities are carrying out DNA tests to establish the identity of the victims as many bodies were charred beyond recognition or badly damaged in the deadly June 12 crash.
"Till 3.30 pm on Tuesday, DNA samples of 162 crash victims had been successfully matched, and 120 bodies handed over to the respective families. Remaining mortal remains will be released soon (after identification)," Gujarat Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi said in a statement.
Medical Superintendent of Ahmedabad Civil Hospital Rakesh Joshi earlier expressed hope that the DNA profiling of all the victims will be completed by either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.
The state government had earlier stated that samples of 250 victims, including persons on board the ill-fated flight as well as those killed on the ground, had been collected for identification.
The process involves comparing DNA profiles from deceased victims with those of their family members to identify the deceased. This process is crucial when bodies are severely damaged or charred beyond recognition. DNA samples are collected from both the deceased and family members and matched to identify the deceased through scientific techniques.
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with 242 persons on board crashed into a medical college complex in Ahmedabad moments after taking off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 1.39 pm on June 12.
While 241 persons on board the London-bound aircraft died, one passenger miraculously survived. The crash also killed 29 persons on the ground, including five MBBS students.

The Air India crash from Ahmedabad to London devastates Britain's Indian community, especially the Gujarati diaspora, prompting vigils and community support.

Air India Crash Impact on UK-Indian Ties

Air India's tragic crash affects the UK Indian community deeply, especially the Gujarati diaspora. Vigils and community aid highlight shared bonds.

The Air India crash affects Britain's Indian community, especially its Gujarati diaspora. Vigils, survivor accounts, and support underscore communal ties.

Britain's Indian community was understandably shaken by the tragic loss of lives in the London-bound Air India plane crash, with temples around the UK on Friday witnessing impromptu prayers and vigils in memory of the victims.
The Ahmedabad-Gatwick flight route is a popular one for the diaspora with families in both countries, especially Britain's estimated 600,000-strong Gujarati community.
The National Council of Gujarati Organisations UK (NCGO-UK) described it as a &ldquo;dark and tragic day&rdquo; for the community as it has been coordinating plans for a vigil in memory of the lives lost.
"This is a dark and tragic day for our community. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and all those affected by this heartbreaking incident. The Gujarati and wider Indian communities across the United Kingdom and around the world are united in grief over this unimaginable loss,&rdquo; noted the NCGO-UK.
The family of Vishwash Kumar Ramesh in Leicester expressed their relief at his miraculous escape as the sole survivor of the crash, while still in anguish at his missing brother Ajay.
"We were all in shock as soon as we heard what happened, just utter shock; speechless,&rdquo; Nayan Kumar Ramesh told the BBC.
"He [Vishwash] himself has no idea how he survived, how he got out of the plane. When he called us, he was just more worried about my other brother, like 'Find Ajay, find Ajay'. That's all he cares about at the moment," he said.
India Global Forum&rsquo;s annual UK-India Week, which begins next week and is set to be addressed by leading ministers and policymakers from both governments, announced a commemoration of the victims of the tragedy.
"As we come together next week for our annual UK-India Week, we will take a moment to reflect on this loss, commemorating those who perished and reaffirming our commitment to the living bond between our countries,&rdquo; said IGF&rsquo;s British Gujarati founder and chairman Manoj Ladwa.
&ldquo;The passengers on board, spanning generations and professions, from students and business people to tourists and families, were a living embodiment of the bridge that binds the United Kingdom and India. This heartbreaking tragedy only reinforces the human dimension of that bond,&rdquo; he said.
Leicester East member of Parliament, Shivani Raja, who is of Gujarati heritage, has opened up her constituency office in the city for those affected by the tragedy.
&ldquo;This flight route is very popular amongst the British Gujarati community, and many have been left understandably shaken by today's horrific events. My office remains open to support local residents who have been impacted,&rdquo; said the Conservative Party MP.
Fellow Gujarati-origin Tory MP and shadow foreign secretary Priti Patel also expressed her concerns for the victims and &ldquo;British nationals involved&rdquo; in Parliament.
Shree Jalaram Mandir in Leicester was among the temples that witnessed devotees flocking for prayers as news of the tragedy unfolded.
In London, the heavily Gujarati hub of Harrow witnessed chants and prayers at the Palmerston Road Temple, with local MP Bob Blackman among the mourners.
&ldquo;A third of my constituents emanate from Gujarat, so my thoughts and prayers are with the families and relatives who are obviously concerned about the plight of the 242 passengers on that flight. I understand that the plane came down in a residential area, so the people who live there will also be affected,&rdquo; Blackman said in the House of Commons on Thursday.
&ldquo;As a person of Gujarati heritage and an MP who represents a large number of Gujarati constituents, I, too, would like to express my shock, horror and sympathies over the devastating news coming out of India,&rdquo; noted Independent MP Shockat Adam. &nbsp;The Air India plane carrying 242 passengers and crew crashed in a residential area in Ahmedabad minutes after taking off on Thursday. The flight, which was due to land at London Gatwick Airport in the evening, had 169 Indians, 53 British, one Canadian and seven Portuguese nationals onboard apart from 12 crew members.

An &ldquo;out-of-control&rdquo; giant Chinese rocket is expected to re-enter the Earth&rsquo;s atmosphere on Saturday, the US Space Command has said. The report said that "its exact entry point into the Earth's atmosphere cannot be pinpointed until within hours of its re-entry".
The Chinese Long March 5B rocket will possibly splash down in the ocean. The rocket&rsquo;s design is such that it cannot be manoeuvred or controlled.
According to reports, a large part of the debris that will crash back to Earth is roughly 100 feet long and weighs over 20,000 kg, making it one of the longest debris to ever fall on the earth.
The crash is likely to happen between latitudes 41.5 degrees north, which runs through North America, Southern Europe, and China, and 41.5 degrees south, which falls in South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
China has maintained that the falling rocket is unlikely to cause any damage.
