Patels Cancelled June 6 London Flight, Then Boarded The One That Crashed | Read

Located approximately 76 km from Ahmedabad, Anand is known as Gujarat's 'NRI City'. Of the 274 people who died in the Ahmedabad plane crash on Thursday, 33 from Anand were on board the doomed Flight AI171 en route to London Gatwick. Most of them were non-resident Indians or individuals with strong overseas connections. 

One such family was that of Monali Patel and her husband, Sunny Patel, both of whom were among the passengers who died when the Boeing 787 aircraft plummeted into the Ahmedabad Medical College complex shortly after takeoff Thursday afternoon.
