To the drama of the loss the agony is added waiting to receive what remains of its relatives. Barely 32 bodies have been identified and 14 have been delivered three days after plane crash that left at least 271 dead in the Indian state of Gujarat. It is foreseeable that the invoice will increase, because some of the 32 injured are in a critical situation and the rescue teams seek missing between the ruins of the building against which the Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed.
He Ahmedabad Civil Hospital It is the epicenter of the tragedy. There the injured, the bodies and their relatives come together. The regrets of the last suggest an improvable management. They barely receive information from the authorities while waiting for their bodies to be delivered even though they gave their DNA samples days ago. This Sunday, they had assured them, the task would be completed. “During these days, all I have heard is that they would be 72 hours, 72 hours. No one knows when those 72 hours will be fulfilled. They end this DNA game. We want to see them, no matter how they are, we can’t digest this. They are our children”, A relative told the Singapurés Straits Times. “If four days later you give us something that stinks, will we be able to endure it? Tell us that the bodies of our loved ones are safe, that they are not decomposing”he added. The suffocating and sticky canicle that hit the area these days increases their fears despite the fact that doctors have promised them that they are being protected.
Agreement configulate technical difficulties. The explosion of the plane against the building, with its atibrined tanks of 125,000 liters of fuel, mutilated and burned the bodies. Only eight have been visually identified. The rest demands ADN And the state of the remains only allows to extract the samples of teeth and bones, a Longer procedure that the usual. Rajnish Patel, a hospital authority, has told the press this Sunday that the identified bodies “are being given to relatives with all respect.”
More time will take Find out why the plane fell Just a minute after taking off. In Ahmedabad they have all together. To the Indian researchers have joined those of the National Security Council in Transportation and those of the Federal Aviation Administration, both Americans, and Engineers of the Boeing Constructor and General Electric, manufacturer of the engines. It has been found on the roof of the hostel for medicine students against which the plane was recessed the Black box With the technical data of the flight and the one that records the conversation in the cabin is sought. The authorities have asked for patience while experts scrutinize the images in search of explanations. The lack of propulsion suggests that the two engines failed and the unusual position of the flaps and the landing train deployed. No option has been discarded: that the co -pilot confused the flaps levers and landing train, the clash of birds against engines, an electrical multifallo, vitiated fuel, insufficient maintenance … not even sabotage because in Gujarat there are no lack of political tensions.
For now, India has already ordered the urgent inspection of all Boeing 787 with General Electric engines that operate the national airlines. In the process, which will be extended for two weeks, the fuel, the cabin, the control of the engines and the hydraulic systems will be reviewed. Air India has already inspected eight of the 34 devices of its fleet, the company has reported.
Another plane crash India has hit this Sunday. The seven occupants of a helicopter have died when they crash on a popular pilgrim route in the Himalaya. The state authorities of Uttarakhand investigate the causes, have ordered inspections to all helicopters and will only allow pilots with acrisolate experience in high mountain to cover the route in the future. Hundreds of thousands of faithful go to the summits on these dates to visit Shiva or Vishnu deities and air transport has avoided the crowds to the most powerful in recent years. The option does not seem excessively safe: in just a month and a half, three emergency landings and two accidents had been recorded on the same route.
