Ordinary people showed extraordinary responsibility, compassion and humanity as they helped authorities extricate bodies at the crash site. Deepak Bhadoria and Akash Shani told mid-day that the horrors are beyond comprehension.

The duo said, “We saw bodies without legs, some without hands.” Bhadoria gave context, “We were drinking tea at a small stall, when we suddenly heard a deafening blast. We saw smoke curling up from a place. We ran towards the site and saw a plane that had crashed into a building. Authorised personnel from different agencies were trying to extricate the bodies. We helped bring out at least eight bodies.”

Shani added, “I saw a huge blaze, smoke and several completely charred bodies. When we were removing the bodies, I tried to bring out one, and then realised I only had a hand with me! Sometimes I was left holding only a leg from a body. Some bodies we transported on a bike to a nearby ambulance.”
