Air India crash heroes: the trainee doctors who cheated death to save lives
Navin Chaudhary had just begun eating his meal when a loud bang startled him. He turned back to see a massive fire taking over the dining area where he and other trainee doctors had assembled for lunch. The blaze approaching him, he rushed towards a window and jumped. From the ground, looking upwards, the sight of the Air India plane's tail cone hanging from the burning building propelled Chaudhary and fellow medical students into action. 'There was fire and many were injured,' Chaudhary said. He said he felt lucky to survive but knew he had a task at hand. He rushed to the hospital's intensive care unit, where the injured, most of whom had burns, were wheeled in on stretchers. Navin Chaudhary, a doctor who witnessed last week's Air India plane crash, speaks to reporters in Ahmedabad, India, on Monday.
