More than 200 India plane crash victims identified
AHMEDABAD, India: More than 200 victims of the Air India jet crash have been identified through DNA testing, Indian authorities said Wednesday, inching towards ending an agonising wait for relatives.
There was one survivor out of 242 passengers and crew on board the London-bound plane on Thursday when it slammed into a residential area of Ahmedabad, killing at least 38 people on the ground.
Distraught relatives have been providing DNA samples to help identify their loved ones, in a painstakingly slow process. “As of 2 pm, 202 DNA (samples) have been matched,” Harsh Sanghavi, home minister of Ahmedabad´s Gujarat state, wrote on X.
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner erupted into a fireball when it crashed moments after takeoff, with witnesses reporting seeing badly burnt bodies and scattered remains.
