Faridabad: The crashed air ambulance was carrying 20-year-old student Rahul Raj, who was in a critical condition and was being shifted to Delhi's Apollo Hospital.
A mission to save a life ended up in a huge tragedy and Rahul's family is now waiting for the post mortem to end.
Rahul had recently gone into coma after suffering from jaundice for the past many weeks. When his condtion deteriorated further on Wednesday, doctors advised his family to get him airlifted to the Apollo Hospital.
His family members flew in early and were waiting for him to arrive in Delhi when they got this news.
"We were eating dinner when we got this news and ran to the hospital," said Rahul's uncle Mukesh Raj
Along with Rahul, there was a six-member team from Apollo Hospital on board the aircraft, and all of them were killed in the crash. The other three who lost their lives were three women sleeping on this balcony where the crash took place.
"My wife, daughter-in-law and daughter were killed on the spot," said 55-year-old Shobhram.
Shobhram was downstairs when the crash took place. He managed to get his son and a few relatives out, but could not get back inside. This is something he said he'll regret for the rest of his life.
Inside the Badshah Khan Hospital, there were three others who narrowly escaped. One of them is Omkar who was standing dangerously close to the site when the incident took place.
"I went to rescue some children, but turbine fuel leaked and burnt me. I jumped from the building but saw others who were burnt to death," said Omkar.
The families were waiting outside the mortuary of the hospital to take the bodies as soon as the post mortems were over.
