Panic, heartbreak and inconsolable grief unfolded at Asarwa Civil Hospital on Thursday evening after an Air India flight crash-landed within minutes of take off. The Boeing 787 aircraft (VT-ANB), carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members on its way to London (Gatwick) crashed shortly after takeoff, killing everyone on board except for one. Relatives of the passengers rushed to Civil Hospital with many doing the rounds of the post-mortem room and emergency ward in the hope of finding their loved ones.
