Bhagavad Gita found in near-mint condition from Air India plane crash debris
Social media is abuzz with a 'miracle' that came to light in the aftermath of the deadly Air India crash in Ahmedabad that killed at least 260 people – an almost-intact hard copy of the religious text, the Bhagavad Gita. The holy book remained mostly undamaged despite the intense heat and burning fuel. Follow Ahmedabad plane crash live updates Air India's Gatwick-bound Boeing 787-7 Dreamliner (AI171), carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members, crashed into BJ Medical College's doctors' hostel in the Meghani Nagar area in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Of the 242 onboard the aircraft, which went up in flames within minutes of take-off, only one survivor remained. Among the victims of the tragic air crash was former Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani. Since the crash took place in a residential area, several parts of Boeing's debris were found near the hostel and other infrastructures there. A copy of the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Hindu text, also survived the fatal tragedy. Several videos of the book being found in the debris went viral on social media, with clips shared by some journalists confirming the same. A man was seen flipping the pages of the Holy scripture, showing it to the people at the crash site, who were also filming the Bhagavad Gita. According to the visuals, while some minor damage was visible on the holy book's cover, the written text and images on the pages inside seemed to be quite intact. Radharamn Das, vice president and spokesperson of Iskcon Kolkata, shared the video on X and said, "Amid the fiery #planecrash, a copy of the Bhagavad Gita was found untouched. One soul miraculously survived with minor bruises. Another girl, who missed the flight by just 10 minutes, was arguing with staff to allow her to board the ill-fated flight." Another user on the microblogging platform wrote, "Miracle amidst tragedy: Bhagavad Gita remains undamaged and intact after the plane crash." Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, seated on seat 11A of the Dreamliner, is the only survivor of the Air India crash. Ramesh is a 40-year-old British national who was visiting family in India. 'Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,' Vishwash told HT. He said when he got up, there were bodies all around him. "I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital," he added. Vishwas, who suffered injuries to his chest, eyes, and feet, is currently receiving treatment at Ahmedabad's Civil Hospital, Asarwa. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday visited the plane crash site in Ahmedabad, met the lone survivor, Vishwash and the injured victims at the hospital there. Following his visit, the prime minister expressed deep grief and wrote on X, 'We are all devastated by the air tragedy in Ahmedabad. The loss of so many lives in such a sudden and heartbreaking manner is beyond words. Condolences to all the bereaved families. We understand their pain and also know that the void left behind will be felt for years to come. Om Shanti.'

Feeding stray dogs near airport may increase risk of animals entering runway: Officials
1 2 3 Bhubaneswar: Feeding stray dogs outside the city airport poses a danger as the canines sometimes stray into operational areas in search of food, prompting authorities to engage field personnel to drive them away, officials said. If the dogs enter the runway during aircraft landing and takeoff, it may pose serious safety risks, they said. "We have been witnessing that passengers and their relatives feed dogs close to the airport's parking facilities, passage to exit, taxi stand and cityside beautification areas. Dogs know those who offer food. If they are hungry, they keep coming to the same place if they feel they are getting food easily. It is not that dogs shouldn't be given food, but it shouldn't be close to the airport," said a senior airport officer. Airport sources said it is unlikely that a stray dog will enter the airport's operational area through departure and arrival gates. "There are instances of canines making their way into operational areas (runway and apron) through other gates. Once they sneak in, no one knows how they will behave inside the sprawling area. They keep field duty staff on tenterhooks," the officer added. In Nov 2012, a wild cat was found trapped in a cage. In Sep 2013, a wild jackal was found in the operational areas. In June and July 2014, two jackals were found. However, since then, there has been no incident of wild animals being sighted in the airport's operational area. Airport authorities conduct regular cleaning drives to cut and prune bushy patches to prevent wild animals from hiding there. However, dogs keep straying, and they are driven away. Jivan Ballav Das, secretary of People For Animals, an NGO working for the welfare of stray dogs, said people can't be asked to stop feeding dogs, but it can be regulated by not allowing them to do so close to the airport. "A designated dog feeding place should be earmarked at a considerable distance so that they don't come towards the airport side," he told TOI.

Couple killed in Air India crash had lost pilot son in earlier aviation tragedy
A couple who died in the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad on Thursday had already lost their only son in a previous aviation tragedy, UK-based news agency PA Media has reported, citing a London temple leader. Rajrajeshwar Guruji, who leads the Siddhashram Shakti Centre in Harrow, north-west London, said the couple had been returning from a religious celebration in India when the flight went down. Follow LIVE updates here. He told PA Media that their son, who was a pilot, had died in a crash in France several years earlier. The report did not identify the couple or their son. 'This couple had gone to India for a religious celebration – they were coming back and now this has happened,' Rajrajeshwar said. 'After what has happened to their son as well, it's just terrible to think about.' Also Read | Seated on 11A, passenger survives Air India Boeing 787 crash, all others die: Is it the safest seat? He further added that he personally knew 20 people who were killed in the crash and added that all were members of the Hindu community who had worshipped at his temple over the years. He said that most of those onboard he knew were people travelling either to visit elderly relatives in India or to take part in religious events. Others had adult children studying at university in the UK and were returning from extended visits.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft (AI171), which carried 230 passengers and 12 crew members, crashed into the complex of a medical college on Thursday afternoon. It had taken off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad. One person survived the crash, while 241 on board were killed. Of the total passengers onboard, there were 169 Indians, 53 British, one Canadian and seven Portuguese nationals, apart from 12 crew members. Aviation experts told HT that the aircraft's flight profile — descending while maintaining a nose-up attitude — might suggest a sudden and severe power loss. They cautioned, however, that while such a descent profile is consistent with engine failure, the exact cause cannot be confirmed until later after investigation.
