On Friday, investigators began examining the wreckage of the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner that crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, resulting in a tragic loss of at least 241 lives. The identification of victims relies heavily on DNA testing due to the severity of the remains. Initial rescues have concluded, but recovery and investigation aspects continue, with a focus on aircraft components and the possibility of engine thrust issues contributing to the crash. A lone survivor's experience highlights the critical moments before the incident.
"The charred remains of the passengers forced authorities to rely on DNA testing for identification, according to the president of the Federation of All India Medical Association, Akshay Dongardiv."
"We saw bodies everywhere they were in pieces, fully burnt," said volunteer rescuer Bharat Solanki, emphasizing the grim reality faced by the rescue teams in the aftermath.
"Authorities are still searching for the black boxes, although local media reports indicate one may have been recovered," indicating ongoing efforts to uncover the cause of the disaster.
"Investigators reportedly examining whether 'a loss or reduction in engine thrust' may have contributed to the crash, according to The Wall Street Journal."
