Last-minute travel change put 24-yr-old on fatal flight

Ahmedabad: Twenty-four-year-old Pinal Mistry from Anand was not supposed to be flying on the ill-fated Air India flight, but a change in her travel plan five days ago made her a victim of the worst single flight tragedy in India. Pinal moved to England a year ago after completing her hotel management studies and ran an online business. Her father, Suresh Mistry, said that Pinal was badly injured in a car crash last year when she went on a pilgrimage to Ujjain. "She lost her teeth and her treatment began in Ahmedabad. She came to India last month for her dental treatment. After getting 7-8 teeth implanted, she had to return to England. She booked her ticket for the June 7 flight, but a letter from her company delayed her departure, and she booked a ticket on this flight," he said. Mistry has a furniture business in Anand. His two children were living in England, with his son going there earlier on a student visa. He said, "We went to England for my son's convocation and stayed there with our children for 2-3 months. My daughter was supposed to come to India with us, but her dentist was not in Ahmedabad then. Therefore, her India trip got delayed." "We came to Ahmedabad to see her off.

During this long wait to take his daughter's body to his native town for cremation, Mistry ponders over each event that could have perhaps resulted in avoiding taking the June 12 flight.
