**Intense heat from the devastating plane crash in Ahmedabad hinders DNA results, leaving families in agony.**
The recent crash of Air India Flight 171 has led to tragic consequences as the intense heat at the crash site complicates the identification of remains. Over 200 heartbroken relatives have been waiting outside a mortuary in Ahmedabad for news regarding their loved ones, with only 35 bodies returned three days post-incident. The incident occurred when a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner was en route from Ahmedabad to Gatwick Airport in London and was reported to be carrying a full load of fuel, roughly 125,000 liters or over 33,000 gallons.
Medical officials revealed that temperatures at the crash site soared to a staggering 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,700 degrees Fahrenheit). Such extreme heat has led to enormous challenges in recovering DNA samples necessary for identification. H.P. Sanghvi, director of the forensic lab in charge of analyzing the remains, explained the dire situation, emphasizing that the fire's intensity has severely compromised the integrity of the bodily tissues.
This has resulted in considerable delays, with the official death toll currently standing at 270, comprising both passengers aboard and individuals on the ground near the crash site. Those awaiting the return of their loved ones continue to grapple with uncertainty and grief, as the procedures surrounding the complex identification process linger on without significant progression.
