Raas Mishra, a 28-year-old logistics executive, tried to calm his parents before boarding: 'They were scared. I am a tad nervous, too, but I have flown Air India before. I trust their pilots.' Kokila Patel, 72, called the extended delay 'emotional exhaustion', while Sabina Qasmani's mother confessed she would stay anxious until her 21-year-old daughter phoned from London. 'Since the crash, I haven't been able to sleep. Sabina is flying the same route. It's hard not to worry," she said, as quoted by the report.
