Plane Crash: Ahmedabad man’s last goodbye as son’s surprise visit ends in tragedy

For Anil Patel, what began as a joyful reunion with his son Harshit and daughter-in-law Puja ended in heartbreak after they died in Thursday's Air India crash in Ahmedabad. The couple, who lived in the UK, had visited Patel after two years to surprise him, but were among the 242 onboard the London-bound flight that crashed into a medical college complex in Meghaninagar. Harshit, who worked for an e-commerce firm, and Puja, who had recently suffered a miscarriage and sought medical care in India, left for their return flight as Patel dropped them off at the airport, unaware it would be their final goodbye. Patel, a widower, now waits for DNA confirmation to claim their remains.
