Dahod medicos return home after plane crash at hostel
Vadodara: Students from Dahod district studying at BJ Medical College (BJMC) returned home after the plane crashed into hostel buildings on the campus. Some had left the hostel mess after lunch just before the accident.
According to officials on Friday, the crash killed three medical students and the wife of a medical student. The students who survived included those from Dahod, who headed home. Sources said that only interns and postgraduate students from Dahod are now staying at the college.
Bhavya Dhanka, an MBBS student from Dahod, told mediapersons that they were in their rooms when they heard the loud sound of a plane. They thought it was a plane flying low and did not imagine it would crash.
Dhanka said they had gone to the same mess where the plane struck for lunch. "We finished lunch and went to our rooms. We were in our rooms when the crash happened and rushed to the site," he said.
Dhanka added that students started rushing injured people to the hospital on whatever vehicle they found. Some were even taken to the hospital on two-wheelers. "I took some injured people to hospital in my car," he said. Students got mattresses from their rooms and took the injured to hospital on these mattresses. Nine MBBS students returned to Dahod on Friday and more are likely to return soon.
