Dream of London Cut Short
Software engineer Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. His biggest dream was to build a new life in the UK with his wife and three young children. After years of waiting, the necessary permissions were finally granted, and their dreams were about to come true.
His wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, resigned from her post in Udaipur two days prior. The family made all the preparations for a fresh start — they packed their belongings, said their goodbyes, and got ready. This morning, they boarded Air India flight #AI171 bound for London, ready for the journey of a lifetime. They even took a selfie on the plane and sent it to loved ones. Everything was set. A new life was just a few hours away.
But the journey never finished.
Shortly after takeoff, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members crashed into a medical school dormitory. Only one passenger survived; all other passengers and crew onboard lost their lives.
