A touching story has come to light from the Air India plane crash that killed over 230 people. Among the victims was an entire family from Banswara, Rajasthan, who had just decided to create a new life in London.
Dr. Pratik Joshi, who had recently resigned from his job in Rajasthan to reunite with his family abroad, lost his wife and three young children in the tragic accident.
Joshi, a software professional living in London for the past six years, had long dreamed of taking his family with him to start a new chapter together.
For 6 long years, Pratik Joshi lived alone in London working tirelessly as a software professional, driven by a single dream: to one day build a better and brighter future abroad for his wife and their three young children, who were patiently waiting for him in India.
That day had finally arrived!
After years of late-night phone calls, visa hurdles, and countdowns, the family was finally being reunited.
Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a dedicated professional doctor resigned from her job in India.
Their house was filled with friends bidding them farewell. A new life awaited them. A future they had only imagined was now within reach.
In the morning, they boarded Air India Flight 171 to London together — as a family. Smiling. Laughing. Pratik took a selfie, the five of them surrounded by the windows and dreams of the plane, and sent it to his relatives: Finally, we are flying home.
But they never succeeded.
But this dream ended in the flames of the Boeing plane.
The Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, bound for Gatwick Airport, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad.
Why the accident happened is still being investigated.
