DNA confirms AI crew member Nganthoi's identity
Guwahati: The identity of the cabin crew member on the ill-fated Ahmedabad-London Air India flight, Kongbrailatpam Nganthoi Sharma of Manipur, has finally been confirmed after a DNA match, her family members said on Saturday. Manipur lost two of its daughters — Nganthoi (20) and Lamnunthem Singson (26) — who were among the crew members aboard the Air India flight that crashed on June 12. Nganthoi's sister Gitanjali told TOI from Ahmedabad on Saturday that the authorities have confirmed her identity among the deceased in the Air India flight crash. "DNA of my sister has matched with our family. We have got the confirmation today after a long wait," said Gitanjali. One of Nganthoi's family members said they are expecting to bring her mortal remains to Imphal on Sunday. It was a patient wait of more than a week by the family members of Nganthoi, a Meitei girl, for the confirmation of her mortal remains through DNA match. Gitanjali and a few of her family members have been camping in Ahmedabad since June 13. "Air India is arranging our return to Imphal with Nganthoi's mortal remains. We are not sure in which flight we are coming. It may be through a connecting flight to Imphal," the family member said.

Flyer misses plane, sprints on runway to board it
Mumbai: Could this be the typical Mumbaikar instinct to rush to catch a just-missed local train? A 25-year-old man from Kalamboli who darted across the city airport after missing his flight was arrested on Thursday for entering the apron — the area where planes are parked, hoping to board the flight he had just missed. Security officials spotted the man, Piyush Soni, running towards the parking area where an Air India flight from Gujarat had landed. The man had arrived at the airport a little after 9.50 am — the deadline for boarding had crossed, said officials of Sahar police station. Soni was unaware that his Air India flight for Patna had already taken off. The aircraft that he was running towards was one that arrived from Bhuj. Soni initially claimed that the driver of a coach, that drops flyers near the aircraft, had "by mistake dropped him close to the runway". However, security officials later said it was a lie, the police said. In a complaint, an Air India staffer has stated that they noticed a man running towards a plane, risking flight movement and potentially causing a fatal incident had some aircraft been taking off. Soni was handed over to airport security (CISF) officials. "During inquiry, Soni revealed that he arrived at the airport late and the gate had closed. He entered the runway by opening the emergency access between gate 42 and gate 43 from inside and ran towards the plane to board it without knowing which one was scheduled to depart," the police said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like (1) Your Antivirus May Require Activation Click Here Undo Soni has been booked for endangering lives and offences under the Aircraft Act.
