Air India plane crash: Families in Ahmedabad endure agonising wait for victims' bodies
They have gathered in the scorching summer heat outside the morgue in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and crane their necks to get a glimpse of the next stretcher carrying a body bag to a waiting ambulance.
The process for identifying bodies after the Air India plane crash is painstaking and some have been burnt beyond recognition. All but one of the 242 people on board the Boeing 787 Dreamliner died.

DNA samples are being matched with relatives, but patience is running thin.
The wait for Lila Behan is agonising. She wails and cries, longing to see her grandson Akash one last time.
She tells Sky News that he was outside when the aircraft crashed into their quarters.
There was fire all around, her daughter-in-law Sita ran towards the flames and got severely burned. She's fighting for her life in the hospital's intensive care unit.
"I can't even see my child's face now, they said he's so severely burnt. But I just want to see him for one last time," she says.
Anand Thanki lost three members of his extended family, including an infant. All were British nationals from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.
His sister-in-law Raxa had travelled to India with her daughter-in-law Yasha and infant grandson Rudra for a religious ceremony.
Raxa lost her husband to cancer two months ago and this was a ritual she needed to perform.
Anand tells Sky News: "It's a big loss, but what can we do? We can only blame our fate, it's probably written for us.
"Worst was for my nephew who had dropped them at the airport, returned home and heard the news of the incident."
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has visited the crash site and assessed the situation.
He knows the city well, it's personal for him.
He has been a legislator for over a decade and previously served as the chief minister of the state of Gujarat.
At the crash site, he walked around debris and the block of flats which were in the flight path of the plane.
The aircraft began losing altitude and within minutes of take-off, it plummeted to the ground, erupting in a fireball.
At the hospital, Mr Modi met Vishwash Kumar Ramesh - the only person to escape the aircraft. He spoke of his miraculous escape.

The scale of the tragedy has been compounded by its location. The plane came down right in the heart of a built-up neighbourhood, with the front of the aircraft crashing into residential quarters for medical students.
The wheels and tail of the plane are embedded in the top floor of one of the buildings, where many had gathered for lunch in a dining hall.
Plates are still on tables - evidence that residents were eating when the aircraft tore through.
There were at least 23 victims on the ground, including students, doctors and family members. Some are in a critical condition.

The cause of the crash remains unknown. Investigators will now begin the long and complex process of establishing what went wrong.
But many families will grapple with the unimaginable loss after one of the worst disasters in India's aviation history.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews Antiques Roadshow: VJ Day Special on BBC1: Poignant keepsakes of the Forgotten Army brought a lump to the throat...
Antiques Roadshow: VJ Day Special (BBC1) Rating: The words are inscribed on war memorials across the country: 'When you go home, tell them of us and say, For your tomorrow, we gave our today.' But few, perhaps, know the words are sometimes called the Kohima Prayer, named after a battle in a remote part of India in 1944, a turning point in the war against Japan. Unlike Alamein or Arnhem, Kohima is not frequently remembered. Sadly, the courage and the sacrifice of the British and Commonwealth soldiers who defended it, the 14th Army, are often overlooked too. No wonder they sometimes called themselves, with dry irony, the Forgotten Fourteenth. But their story was marked with a mixture of solemnity and sentimentality as some of their descendants brought treasured keepsakes of the war in the Far East to the Antiques Roadshow: VJ Day Special. 'It's history in your hand,' remarked historian Robert Tilney, as he inspected a Japanese officer's shin gunto sword, a trophy from Kohima. 'It's a hairs-on-the-back-of-your-neck job.' This episode traced the conflict chronologically, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima. JUGGLING ACT OF THE WEEKEND A dolphin mother taught her calf how to play keepy-uppy with a piece of coral balanced on her nose, in Parenthood (BBC1). The trick was to drop it and catch it again before it hit the seabed. No using teeth or flippers... that's cheating. The names are familiar but the horrors suffered by troops in the jungles of South-east Asia are beyond imagination, as viewers of The Narrow Road To The Deep North (which followed on BBC1) can attest. Children and grandchildren of the survivors all repeated versions of the same line: 'He never talked about it much.' In part, as presenter Fiona Bruce discovered, this was because soldiers who returned from the murderous Japanese prisoner-of-war camps were under orders not to discuss what they had endured. I've always felt there was another, subtler psychological reason: these men had been through hell to protect their families. By making light of what they suffered, they were able to continue giving that protection. There was no doubting the debt of gratitude, coupled with a deep sense of respect, that everyone on the show felt. None of the artefacts was given a valuation — that would have been crass. In any case, how can you put a price on a bowl fashioned from a coconut shell, which was one man's only possession during his long imprisonment? There was no doubting the debt of gratitude, coupled with a deep sense of respect, that everyone on the show felt. None of the artefacts was given a valuation — that would have been crass Many of the items were impossibly poignant, such as a chess set carved from balsa wood with a penknife, or the hat worn by a soldier with the Chindits, an explosives expert fighting deep behind enemy lines. Possibly the most touching of all was a letter from an artillery man to his baby son, and preserved with care for more than 80 years. 'Dear little Jimmy,' he wrote, 'though you won't be able to read this, I hope you'll keep it and cherish it. Be very good for mummy as she's the dearest person in the world and love her just as much as I do.' Jimmy had a lump in his throat as he read it. And so did I.

The world's black rhino numbers have increased but there's bad news for others
The number of critically endangered black rhinos has increased slightly, but there is bad news for other rhino species, according to a global count released Thursday by the International Rhino Foundation. It said that black rhino numbers went up from 6,195 to 6,788 in the latest estimates. White rhinos had declined, however, from 15,942 to 15,752 since the last count in 2021. Black and white rhinos are only found in the wild in Africa. The number of greater one-horned rhinos, found in northern India and Nepal, rose slightly from 4,014 to 4,075. But Javan rhinos have declined from an estimated 76 to just 50, the foundation said, and that was entirely due to poaching. There is only one known population of Javan rhinos left — at a national park on the Indonesian island of Java. The Sumatran rhino population stands at just 34-47 animals, around the same as previous estimates. The global population for all rhinos is approximately 26,700. The International Rhino Foundation says it gets its figures from counts by specialist rhino groups at the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the global authority on endangered species. It does not count rhinos in zoos, only those in the wild or in national parks. The rhino foundation said there were worrying new trends from South Africa, which has more rhinos than anywhere else. There, the average number of rhinos in individual populations was below what conservationists recommend to maintain a viable population. It also said a new rhino horn trafficking route was emerging between South Africa and Mongolia, and Qatar was becoming a growing hub for horn trafficking. Rhino poaching is still a major problem in South Africa and elsewhere to feed the illegal market for rhino horn products in parts of Asia. South Africa loses between 400 and 500 rhinos a year to poaching. It is often looking for new ways to deter poachers and one group of scientists launched a project last week to inject radioactive material into the horns of rhinos. The scientists say it's harmless for the animals but allows horns to be detected by border authorities when they are being smuggled. ___

Wrong remains from Air India crash 'adds to trauma', says family
A woman whose brother died in the Air India crash and then received the wrong body says it has "added trauma" to her Greenlaw-Meek, 39, and his husband Jamie, 45, were among the 242 people on board the flight which crashed on 12 June soon after taking off for London Gatwick from sister Arwen Greenlaw told BBC Newsnight her family was seeking dignity and closure as well as accountability for those who mislabelled her brother's Foreign Office said it continues to support families affected by the Air India crash with "dedicated caseworkers", adding that the "formal identification of bodies is a matter for the Indian authorities". Ms Greenlaw, from Cambridge, told the BBC she wanted "dignity" for her brother and "closure for the family"."If that is not possible - because the worst case scenario is that he has been cremated as somebody else - then we need to know that in order to move on," she added."Somebody mislabelled remains - that has added trauma."She said it appeared there was a "lack of forensic protocols" at the scene of the crash, and the site was "not closed for 48 hours"."It just can't happen again," she said."I think the whole family were and still are in complete disbelief because it is things that happen on the news and to other people. It was shocking and is confusing." What we know so far about Air India crash investigationRead the preliminary reportAre India's skies safe? Air safety watchdog responds amid rising concerns There were 230 passengers and 12 crew on the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, including 169 Indian nationals, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese nationals and one people living in a residential neighbourhood near Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport where the jet came down were also killed, taking the number of confirmed casualties to at least 270. This included a number of medical students staying in the area.A preliminary investigative 15-page report published last month said fuel to the engines of the plane cut off just seconds after take-off. Circumstances around how or why that happened remain unclear. The report said in recovered cockpit voice recordings, one of the pilots can be heard asking "why did you cut off?" - to which the other pilot replied he "did not do so".A final report into the crash is expected in 12 months. In the days after the fatal crash, Ms Greenlaw said their mother flew out to India as part of the formal identification process."By her own words it was a chaotic scene," Ms Greenlaw recalled. "She went straight to the hospital to give a blood sample, we were told it would be up to 72 hours to get a positive identification - and that was about right."She returned from India with what she thought were her son's remains. It has been the equivalent of losing him twice. "Mum had seen the situation there, smelt the smells, seen the sights, seen the crash site. I think for her that made it more real to be able to see that." Ms Greenlaw explained when the casket was returned it was tested and found to be "the remains of two different people".As a result, a coroner in London decided to carry out further tests and the family were able to get some DNA from Fiongal's headphones that proved the remains were not his."I would say we go up and down with feelings," Ms Greenlaw said when asked how the family are feeling."We are not naïve, we understand it must have been a horrendous situation and my heart goes out to those who did the clear up - but we know Finn's remains were found. "At that point you would expect the remains to come home. If he had not been matched we could get our heads around that." Mr Greenlaw-Meeks founded The Wellness Foundry in Ramsgate, in Kent, in 2018 with his husband joining as a managing director five years had also been due to be hosting workshops at Ramsgate Pride event in before boarding the Air India flight, the pair posted a video to social media on their last night in the country, where Mr Greenlaw-Meeks reflected on a "magical experience"."They were amazing," Ms Greenlaw said. "Two parts of the one soul. They lived together, they married and they died together. They were two halves of one." The Foreign Office told the BBC it is continuing to liaise with the Gujarati government and the Indian government on behalf of the Inner West London Senior Coroner to support the coronial process."We understand that this is an extremely distressing time for the families, and our thoughts remain with them," a Foreign Office spokesperson said."Foreign Office staff continue to support the families and loved ones in line with our consular remit. "We have allocated dedicated caseworkers to each family who wish to have one." Ms Greenlaw's comments come days after a separate memorial service was held on Sunday in Wembley to remember two other victims who died on the flight - Ashok and Shobhana son Miten Patel told the BBC last month that he had discovered "other remains" were in his mother's casket when her body was returned to the had to re-identify Mr Patel's mother's remains and his family were also able to recover his father's ring, which he was wearing when the plane crashed. India's foreign ministry previously said: "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."
