Mumbai Family members, friends and colleagues gathered in Mumbai on Friday to remember the 12 crew members who lost their lives in the AI-171 Air India crash, as the city marked one year since one of India's deadliest aviation tragedies.
The prayer meeting, held in Mumbai's Bandra area, brought together grieving relatives and members of the aviation fraternity to honour those who died when the London-bound Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad on June 12 last year.
The disaster claimed 260 lives — including 241 passengers and crew members onboard and 19 people on the ground. Only one passenger survived, while all 12 crew members perished during the aircraft's initial climb.
Among those attending the memorial was Amol Tatkare, whose wife Aparna Mahadik, a senior cabin crew member with Air India, was among the victims.
Recalling the day of the tragedy, Tatkare said he himself was attending training at Air India's academy, where he also worked as cabin crew.
"I was at the training academy. During lunch break, I got a message from somebody from the cabin crew fraternity asking if everything was okay," he said.
