The Jharkhand air ambulance crash has left several families shattered, as they try to cope with the sudden loss of seven people who had boarded the aircraft with the sole purpose of saving a life. The Beechcraft C90, flying a critically ill burn patient from Ranchi to Delhi, went down in stormy weather near Jharkhand’s Simaria in Chatra on Monday night. Among those killed were two pilots, a doctor, a paramedic, the patient and two of his relatives. On Tuesday, their families shared the grief, a father who sold his farmland to educate his son, a family whose attempt to save a burn victim ended in a much bigger loss, and a brother who lost the person he called the foundation of his life.
