A family of five perished in the Air India plane crash, which occurred on Thursday, claiming the lives of 242 passengers, but one person on board.
The plan by a software professional, Pratik Joshi to have his wife, Dr Komi Vyas, medical doctor, and their three children, who had stayed back in India, join him in London where he had been working for six years ended in tragedy.
The family boarded the flight 171 full of joy and shortly before the aircraft took off, they took a selfie, which showed Joshi, wife and all children smiling. The picture was forwarded to relatives.
About a minute after take-off, the aircraft crashed and ended the journey of the five souls and 236 others on the ill-fated flight.
According to a post on X by The Skin Doctor, “Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India.
“After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach.
“This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived.
“In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.”
