Ramesh Bhaliya traveled to Ahmedabad under heartbreaking circumstances—to collect the remains of his younger son, Ajaykumar, who died in the Air India crash, while his older son, Viswash, the only survivor, lies injured in the hospital. The brothers, British nationals with roots in Diu, were in India for work. In a cruel twist of fate, Viswash, seated near the emergency exit, lived, while Ajaykumar didn’t survive the doomed flight.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another crash statistic—it’s a gut-wrenching snapshot of how disasters tear through families in unpredictable ways. The story underscores the human cost behind aviation accidents, where luck (or misfortune) can hinge on something as random as a seat assignment. It’s a reminder of the fragility of life, especially for diaspora families navigating grief across continents.
