A striking incident highlighting the fortunate turns of fate was reported yesterday (June 13) from India, following a severe plane crash near Ahmedabad Airport. The news centres on Bhoomi Chauhan, who survived the tragic event because she was 10 minutes late and missed her flight.
Bhoomi Chauhan, who resides in England with her husband and child, had visited India for a two-year holiday to see her parents. On June 12, she went to the airport to depart for England. However, due to heavy traffic in Ahmedabad, Bhoomi Chauhan arrived at the airport 10 minutes late.

She stated that as she was preparing to leave the airport, having missed her flight, she heard about the accident.
Commenting on the experience, Bhoomi Chauhan said, “It was around 1:30 PM when I got to the airport… it was too late to join the flight. When I found out about the accident, my whole body felt numb.”
The Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft, carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members (a total of 242 people), began its journey on the afternoon of June 12 from Ahmedabad, India, to London Gatwick Airport.
Indian media reports indicate that the death toll from this terrible plane crash has risen to 265. Out of the 242 people on board, including passengers and crew, 241 perished, with only one passenger miraculously surviving.
Although the plane departed from the airport at 1:38 PM, its journey ended tragically in less than a minute. The aircraft crashed into a dormitory building of the BJ Medical College, located very close to the airport, and exploded. Twenty-four students who were having lunch in the medical college dormitory also died in this accident. Several other injured students are currently hospitalized and receiving treatment.
