New Delhi/Mumbai/Chennai: Thirty-three days after an Indian Coast Guard Dornier went missing off the Tamil Nadu coast, the aircraft’s debris as well as the flight data recorder (FDR) were located on Friday, 1,000 metres under the sea.
Families of those on board the aircraft — pilot S Vidhya Sagar, co-pilot Subash Suresh and observer M K Soni — received the news with trepidation.
Suresh’s mother Padma Suresh said they were yet to get any official information. “Around 5 pm today, there was a message in our WhatsApp group that debris has been found. Coast Guard officials shared that information. We are also following reports in the media. Do you have any information about the missing crew?” she said. “My life has changed ever since June 8. Now that there are reports of debris having been found, I do not know how to deal with it,” she said.
Subash’s relative Venkitesh said the Coast Guard had requested the families to wait for more information. A relative of Soni, too, said the family was awaiting more information.
