The Air India tragedy she referred to occurred on June 12, when a London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
The aircraft, which struck the BJ Medical College hostel complex in the Meghani Nagar area, resulted in the loss of 241 lives out of the 242 on board.
