Thai crash: No Indian victim reported

A rapid change in the speed of wind and the pilot's decision to land the plane despite bad weather seems to have led to the horrific event which took away almost 89 lives and left a lot many injured.
The officials of Embassy of India informed thaindian.com that there has not been any information regarding any Indian passengers traveling in the flight although it may take sometime before complete information can be obtained. The embassy officials are working with the airlines to find out more information and are prepared for any appropriate action, should such a situation arise.
The survivors of the crash have asked why the plane had been given permission to land despite a monsoon storm with so fierce winds. People have angrily asked why the airport remained open in such terrible weather condition and why was it not closed for any landing whatsoever.
