AHMEDABAD, India (The Straits Times/ANN): Anger has been mounting among family members of passengers on board the ill-fated Air India plane that crashed in Ahmedabad, as they face an agonising wait for the bodies of their loved ones.
All but one of the 242 passengers and crew on board were killed in the June 12 crash, with an additional unconfirmed number of fatalities on the ground. Flight AI171, operated with a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, had rammed into a hostel mess in the western Indian city’s Byramjee Jeejeebhoy (BJ) Medical College and Civil Hospital before erupting into a large ball of fire.
