British air accident investigators have arrived in India because tribute continues to pour victims of Indian Air Plane crashes.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner fell shortly after taking off on Thursday where one of the deadliest aircraft accidents in terms of the number of British citizens killed.

The plane crashed into a medical college dormitory in the Ahmedabad housing section, killing 241 out of 242 people on the ship.

In the central London on Saturday, the accident victims were remembered during the color troops to respect the king’s birthday, which included a silence of one minute.

Royals and senior officers who participated in this service were also asked to wear black arm tires as a sign of respect.

At least 25 bodies were found in the debris by the recovery crew who worked at the accident site until Friday night, officials said, and it was unclear whether they had been on the flight or on the ground.

Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad has received 270 bodies, Dr. Dhaval Gameti told the Associated Press.

The only passenger who is still alive, British man Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, is still in observing some of his wounds but “doing so well and will be ready to be removed in the near future”, said Dr. Gameti.

The British Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAB) announced on Friday night that four of his investigators, who would look into airplane accidents, had arrived in India and had expertise in aircraft operations, engineering and data recordings.

“The release of information about the investigation only exists in Indian authority,” he added.

Black box flight recorder was found from the roof near the accident site and could reveal important instructions about the cause of the accident.

Hundreds of relatives have provided DNA samples to help officials identify the bodies of victims.

Tribute to victims of plane crash

People who attended the guard in London on Saturday to remember the victims became very emotional after learning that two young girls had become orphaned by disaster.

The leaders of faith from the Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Jewish community lead services at the Siddhashram Shakti Center in Harrow, West London, where 20 victims were expected to have been worshiped before.

Mayor Harrow Anjana Patel said that two young girls had lost their father in the accident, only a few weeks after their mother died of cancer.

Their father, Arjun Patoliya, has flew to Gujarat to spread his wife’s Abu, Bharti.

He returned home for his daughter, four and eight years old, when the plane dropped.

“The saddest event we got here in Harrow is that one of the parents has died here because of cancer,” Patel said, when the crowd was jolted.

“Her husband left to perform rituals in India and returned, she joined. She had left two little girls behind and the girls were now orphans.

“I really hope that the girls will be guarded by all of us.”

The couple who had lost their only son in the previous flight tragedy were on the plane, said Shri Rajrajeshwar Guruji, who led the center of Siddhashram Shakti.

“The couple went to India for religious celebrations – they returned and now it has happened,” he said.

“After what happened to their son too – it’s just terrible to think about.”

Families of three from Goucester are also on flights, their family said.

Akeel Nanabawa, Hanna Vorajee and their four -year -old daughter, Sara Nanabawa, “Highly Loved and Highly Respected”.

MS Vorajee volunteered to the local Islamic school and also an organization director who promoted an understanding of the religion, said a priest.

Mr Nanabawa manages a recruitment company called Iceberg recruitment service that has a branch in Ahmedabad, according to the company’s website.

Speaking at Gloucester on Friday, Zaheera Nanabawa said his cousin, Akeel, was the “glue” that united the family.

“They went as part of their trip to Singapore and Malaysia, before they went to India,” he said.

“All of this news is really surprising and destroying for us, and it will leave the hole in our family.”

Their priest, Abdullah Samad, said: “This young family is very close to their loyal parents and their beautiful daughters.”

British survivors talk about the horrors of watching people “dying before my eyes”.

From the hospital bed on Friday, Ramesh told DD News: “I still don’t believe how I survived.”

The 40-year-old player told the announcer that the plane felt like “trapped in the air” shortly after taking off before the lights began to blink green and white, adding: “Suddenly crashed into a building and exploded.”

Foreign offices, Commonwealth and Development (FCDO) have contacted him to offer consular support after a plane crash, said Downing Street.

The accident site was visited by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, from India, on Friday, with video recordings showing him talking to Mr. Ramesh at the hospital.
