All but one of the 241 passengers on board the London-bound Air India flight died in the crash. The victims also included people who were in and around the buildings the plane crashed into.
Among them are:
Fiongal and Jamie Greenlaw-Meek, a married British couple, ran a spiritual wellness centre in London. A day before their flight, they posted a video on Instagram showing them laughing and joking about their trip to India.
Among the victims was also Prateek Joshi, a consultant radiologist from Derby, his wife and three young children. He had shared a photo of all of them seated in the plane just before it departed.
Raxa Modha, and her two-year-old grandson, Rudra, were believed to have been flying back to England for a memorial service for Modha’s late husband, Kishor, who died in April from cancer.
The two pilots, First Officer Clive Kundar and Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, also lost their lives. Kundar had 3,403 total flying hours, with 1,128 on the Dreamliner. Sabharwal was a veteran with 15,638 hour of flying experience, including 8,596 on the Boeing 787.
A former nursery school headteacher and Ofsted inspector Panna Nagar also died in the crash.
