Family of British victim in Air India plane crash given ‘wrong body': Report
The family of a British national, who died in the London-bound Air India plane crash, has allegedly been sent the wrong body, according to a report by DailyMail. In this case, a funeral had to be abandoned after it was discovered that the coffin contained the remains of someone else. Wreckage of the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner plane sits on the open ground, outside Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, where it took off and crashed nearby shortly afterwards, in Ahmedabad.(Reuters) In another instance, the bodies of two victims were reportedly 'commingled' in the same coffin and had to be separated before burial, the report said. James Healy-Pratt, a lawyer representing several bereaved British families, said the mishandling of remains had left relatives 'distraught'. Also Read | Air India completes check of all Boeing planes, says no issues found 'I have been sitting down in the homes of these lovely British families over the last month, and the first thing they want is their loved ones back,' DailyMail quoted Healy-Pratt as saying. 'But some of them have got the wrong remains, and they are clearly distraught over this. It has been going on for a couple of weeks, and I think these families deserve an explanation.' Healy-Pratt said the family who received the wrong body had been left 'in limbo'.

'The families are also directly in contact with their MPs, the FCDO, and the offices of the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary — ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to London,' the report stated. Responding to queries about the 'commingled' bodies, India's external affairs ministry said that all the established protocols were followed in identification of victims, but they would work with UK authorities to resolve any issues. "We have seen the report and have been working closely with the UK side from the moment these concerns and issues were brought to our attention. In the wake of the tragic crash, the concerned authorities had carried out identification of victims as per established protocols and technical requirements. All mortal remains were handled with utmost professionalism and with due regard for the dignity of the deceased. We are continuing to work with the UK authorities on addressing any concerns related to this issue," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. Air India flight AI 171, operated by a Boeing 787-8, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad en route to London Gatwick on June 12, killing 241 of the 242 passengers onboard, along with 19 people on the ground. Among the dead were 52 British citizens. Also Read | 'Assigning blame before...': Indian pilots body dissatisfied with Air India crash report The errors were reportedly identified by Dr Fiona Wilcox, the Inner West London coroner. 'If [it] isn't their relative, the question is, who is it in that coffin? Presumably it's another passenger and their relatives have been given the wrong remains. The coroner also has a problem because she has an unidentified person in her jurisdiction,' Healy-Pratt said. The report added that the remains recovered from the crash site were severely burnt, mutilated, or fragmented. Some were identified through DNA testing, while others were matched using dental records. What NFSU in Gujarat said on DNA matching The National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) in Gujarat had a difficult task of performing DNA segregation and matches for bodies of the deceased and their family members. Officials privy to the matter had earlier said the extraction process would be challenging as some bodies were completely charred and extracting bone samples would take time. 'Under usual circumstances, the extraction process and profiling take barely 30-40 minutes. However, here the extraction will take time, as there will hardly be any bone left on some of the charred bodies. It is challenging to find bone samples from the ashes. In some cases, nearly two-thirds of the body is burnt. Thus, the process has to be repeated three-four times,' ThePrint quoted Dr SO Junare, NFSU Gandhinagar campus director, as saying.

Planes Nearly Collide On Mexico City Runway In Frightening Close Call
Last Updated: Pilots halted Delta flight moments before takeoff in Mexico City as AeroMéxico jet unexpectedly touched down ahead. Two planes almost collided on the runway in Mexico City on Monday when an AeroMéxico regional jet about to land flew over and touched down in front of Delta Air Lines Boeing 737 jet that had begun taking off. The incident happened on the runway of the Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez where Delta Flight 590 was starting to roll down with 144 customers and six crew members on board. The passengers and the crew suddenly spotted another plane land directly in front of it, the airlines said in a statement. Flightradar 24, the flight tracking website, showed in a rendering of the incident via a video shot on aviation radar view. It showed that the AeroMéxico Connect flight 1631, an Embraer 190 regional jet, flew less than 200 feet over the moving Delta plane then landed in front of them on runway 5R. The journey for the Delta passengers commenced three hours later as pilots immediately stopped the takeoff and returned to the terminal following the incident. Delta, in a statement, said that it reported the incident to Mexican aviation authorities, as well as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in the United States. 'Delta will fully cooperate with authorities as the circumstances around this flight are investigated," the airline said in a statement. 'We appreciate the flight crew's actions to maintain situational awareness and act quickly – part of Delta's extensive training." The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) downgraded Mexico's aviation safety rating in May 2021, citing its failure to meet minimum international safety standards. The top-tier Category 1 status was reinstated in September 2023, after the FAA provided technical assistance to help address and resolve the issues that led to the downgrade. Aviation incidents continue to make global headlines, with another close call emerging from US skies. Aviation regulators said Monday they are investigating a near-miss between a Delta flight operated by SkyWest and a US military B-52 bomber over Minot, North Dakota. The commercial pilot was forced to take emergency action, telling passengers, 'This is not normal at all," after spotting the bomber approach from the right. The FAA and SkyWest have launched probes into the July 18 incident. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
