Ahmedabad Plane Crash: In a chilling turn of events, the aftermath of the Ahmedabad plane crash continues to haunt grieving families. DNA test results have now confirmed the identities of nine deceased passengers. The process of handing over bodies has begun, stirring waves of unbearable sorrow.
Tragedy Deepens As DNA Identifies Nine Victims
The heart-wrenching wreckage of the Ahmedabad plane crash is finally starting to reveal its human toll. Nine bodies, previously unrecognizable due to the severity of the crash, have been identified through DNA testing. These identifications mark a painful turning point in the tragedy, as mourning families now face the finality of their loss. Gujarat's Minister of State for Home, Harsh Sanghavi, held an emergency meeting with the state forensic team to expedite the DNA match process. In a race against time, labs worked around the clock to offer closure to the waiting families.
The state government is coordinating closely with law enforcement and forensic experts to ensure that all victims are properly identified. The pain of waiting for days to confirm the fate of loved ones has now turned into the unimaginable anguish of receiving the mortal remains. For many, this has transformed hope into heartbreak.
Bodies Handed Over Amid Silent Screams
As the bodies are handed over to their families, the air outside the forensic lab grows heavier. Ambulances stand by, priests chant final prayers, and grieving mothers clutch framed photos with trembling hands. For some, the last time they saw their loved ones was at the airport departure gate. The final goodbye now arrives in a wooden coffin.
The process is being handled with the utmost sensitivity. Police escorts and grief counselors are supporting families through every step of the funeral process. Authorities are also ensuring a seamless cremation or burial in accordance with the family's wishes.
Still, the larger question looms—could this have been prevented?
People near the crash site recall flames bursting from the aircraft moments before it struck the ground. “There was a loud explosion, and then silence,” said one local. Burnt luggage and charred boarding passes lay scattered near the crash perimeter. Even days later, the stench of fuel and smoke clings to the air.
Emergency responders described the wreckage as “unrecognizable metal”. Every rescue worker involved is undergoing trauma counseling. The mental health impact on first responders and their families alike is expected to last long after the news cycle moves on.
Families Demand Answers, Not Just Bodies
As the official process unfolds, anger simmers. Some families are calling for a high-level investigation into what led to this disaster. Was it a mechanical failure, pilot error, or something more sinister? Authorities have promised transparency, but grief and doubt go hand in hand in such catastrophic moments.
A judicial probe has now been requested, with public pressure mounting. Activists and aviation experts have called for tighter safety regulations and third-party aircraft audits, especially for private and chartered flights.
