In the searing aftermath of Air India Flight 171's crash, grief blankets Ahmedabad. The Boeing 787-8, headed for London, went down minutes after takeoff, killing at least 265 people, including students at a government-run medical hostel. Now, devastated families mourn for their loved ones who left for the skies but never returned, holding onto photos, last messages and the unbearable weight of what could have been.
