Survivor of 1993 Indian Airlines crash remembers tragedy
As the crash of the Air India flight in Ahmedabad has shocked the country, a resident of Parbhani in Maharashtra recalled another aircraft accident that took place 32 years ago and claimed 55 lives.
Vasant Shinde, a former municipal council president of Parbhani, told a news channel that he survived the tragedy only because he was sitting near the cockpit and not in the rear part where the fuel tank was located. He was on board the ill-fated Indian Airlines plane that took off from Chikalthana airport in Aurangabad district (now Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) on April 26, 1993.
