The calamitous Air India crash in an Ahmedabad conurbation, obliterating 241 souls aboard and at least five medical students in a proximate collegiate residence, has etched itself as a nadir in India's aviation annals; a solitary survivor, Vishwashkumar Ramesh, ejected pre-detonation, remained as the sole witness to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner's demise – an unprecedented incident for this aircraft model – following a mayday call, unanswered thereafter, as regulatory bodies affirmed; international dignitaries, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his British counterpart Keir Starmer, and King Charles III, extended their sympathies amidst the precipitous near-9% slump in Boeing Co. shares prior to the commencement of U.S. trading.
