Following the horrifying crash of an Air India plane carrying 242 souls, only one passenger miraculously survived. Additional fatalities occurred on the ground as the plane plummeted into a densely populated neighborhood shortly after takeoff. The crash's cause remains a mystery, but investigators are eager to unveil secrets from the flight recorders, one of which has similarly been unveiled from the wreckage.
In London, a moment of solemn reflection was observed during the Trooping the Colour ceremony on Saturday. The royal family, dressed in black armbands, paid tribute to the crash victims as part of an altered tradition. King Charles III decided on these changes as an expression of sympathy towards those who lost their lives and their affected families, as relayed by Buckingham Palace.
More than half of the wreckage victims hailed from the British Isles. The lone survivor is a British-Indian native of Leicester, England.
