Family of 5 perishes in Ahmedabad Plane crash

A heartbreaking tragedy has unfolded following the crash of Air India Flight 171, with reports confirming that an entire family of five, en route to start a new life in London, lost their lives in the disaster

The family, full of hope and anticipation for a fresh chapter abroad, had recently completed all necessary travel arrangements after years of waiting. The father, Pratik Joshi, a software engineer who had been based in London for six years, was finally bringing his wife and three children over to join him permanently.

According to social media user The Skin Doctor, who shared the emotional account on X, the relocation had been a long-held dream for Joshi. His wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a respected physician in Udaipur, resigned from her job just 48 hours before the move, preparing to embrace a new life overseas with her family.

Before boarding the ill-fated flight, the family captured a final selfie and sent it to relatives — a cheerful image meant to mark the beginning of a new journey. But that hopeful moment would be their last.

The crash of Flight 171 has sent shockwaves through social media, with widespread grief and condolences pouring in for the victims and their loved ones. As investigations continue into the cause of the accident, this devastating loss serves as a painful reminder of how dreams can be cut short in an instant.

The tweet reads:

“Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India”.

“After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach”

“This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived”.
