Gujarat Air Crash: Mother Remains Oblivious To The Death Of Teenage Son

In the aftermath of the Gujarat air crash, a mother wounded while trying to save her son lies unaware of his death, as her family waits in grief to perform his last rites.

Saahil

Fourteen-year-old Aakash Bhai Patni was all aflame as his mother rushed to save him and received burns herself. She is now recuperating from the burn injuries in a special ward of Civil Hospital, a massive concrete structure on whose lawns policemen in heavy numbers have been patrolling after Thursday바카라s air crash that left 241 passengers dead who were travelling from Ahmedabad to London.

The family has been sitting on a hot pavement outside the hospital for the last few days, waiting for the mortal remains of the boy for last rites, while the mother still believes that her son is alive.

바카라 We didn바카라t tell her that her son has died. The burns all over her face and arms give her a lot of pain, and she screams at how painful it would have been for her son whose burning body somehow, she wanted to rescue,바카라 said a relative of the deceased, Rameela Bhen Patni. Father of the deceased boy Suresh Bhai Ptatni, sobbed, his eyes welling up with tears as he recalled the incident that led to the death.

The family바카라s agony of losing the boy and now having to wait for the body for the last rites has been a traumatic experience. 바카라I was away driving the auto when I heard about the death,바카라 said Suresh Patni, his head down and eyes fixed to the ground. Suresh wore a dismal look as the helpless father was being consoled by his raltives outside the hospital.

The relatives have been coming from all across different places of Ahmedabad to console the family and to see that they can immerse the ashes of the boy in the Sabarmati river to say a last goodbye to the boy.

The family said that Aakash was going to hand over food to his mother, who used to run a tea stall in the quaint area of Meghaninagar area, which houses a medical hostel, residential quarters of doctors, and some police and defence establishments, when the incident happened.


At the site, the plane came crashing down, sending people scurrying for cover as a fireball emerged from the burning flight that hit the medical hostel mess. At the site, a large crane stood beside the wreckage of the plane while a blackened building of the residential quarter still reminds of the tragedy that unfolded in a span of a few seconds.
