"Just before takeoff, Yasmin called me, expressing anxiety about the non-functioning AC and a strange feeling. I reassured her the AC would start working," he said.Soon after, as Yasin was about 50km from Ahmedabad, he got a devastating call from relatives that the London-bound flight had crashed.By 3pm, the loss was confirmed. "I drove back to the hospital and the young doctors injured at the hostel were being brought in," said Yasin.
