The Ahmedabad Plane Crash: A Costly Reminder That We Can’t Afford to Ignore
On June 12, just minutes after taking off from Ahmedabad airport, an Air India Boeing 787-8 crashed into the BJ Medical College hostel mess — barely 5 km from the runway. Out of 242 passengers on board, 241 didn’t survive. The only survivor, Vishwakumar Ramesh, was on his way to London with his brother — who didn’t make it.
Among the victims was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, along with hundreds of other innocent lives, including students in the hostel building. It’s a devastating event — not just because of the number of lives lost, but because it exposes something deeper: a brutal example of systemic negligence.
This wasn’t bad luck. A plane doesn’t just fall out of the sky without warning. Something failed — whether in maintenance, checks, or basic responsibility. And this time, that failure cost lives. A lot of them.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched an investigation into the technical and procedural lapses that may have led to this disaster.
The Tata Group has announced ₹1 crore compensation for families and will cover the medical treatment for survivors. That’s appreciated. But compensation doesn’t fix broken trust.
Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah visited the crash site and met with officials and victims' families — a gesture that shows the scale of the tragedy and the national attention it has drawn.
This isn’t just another tragic headline. It’s a reminder that even systems we trust the most can let us down — and when they do, the price is often paid by those who had nothing to do with the failure.
Air India, already under scrutiny in the past, now faces even deeper questions about how such negligence was allowed to slip through.
We aren’t here to create panic. We’re here to ask questions. Because silence doesn’t prevent disasters — it only delays the next one.
