ကားပိတ်နေလို့ ၁၀ မိနစ် နောက်ကျသွားရာမှ သေကံမရောက်ခဲ့သည့် အမျိုးသမီး

A woman who was meant to board the doomed Air India plane that crash landed has spoken of her luck after she narrowly avoided the tragedy when she missed her flight by 10 minutes.

Bhoomi Chauhan was on her way to Sardar Vallabhbhai Airport, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, to catch the Air India flight AI-171 to London on Thursday morning.

But due to being stuck in heavy traffic, she reached the airport 10 minutes later and ultimately ended up missing her flight.

Chauhan, a resident of Ahmedabad, told local media that upon receiving information of the devastating crash just moments after she was turned away from the boarding gates, she 'shivered badly and her legs started shaking'.

The Gatwick-bound plane carrying 242 passengers, including 53 British nationals, crashed just moments after take-off.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner careened back down to earth in the densely populated Meghani area of the city just minutes after leaving the runway around 1.40pm local time (8.10am BST).

Chauhan said her 'mind went numb' after she learned of the incident before she returned home. She had been visiting India for a holiday while her husband remained home in London.
