An Air India passenger plane bound for London with more than 240 people on board crashed Thursday in India’s northwestern city of Ahmedabad, and there were no known survivors, officials said.
An airplane flown from a country known for terrible safety standards crashed? Color me shocked.
This from the same country where it’s common practice to make plastic poles with wire to attach directly to power lines, weld without welding face masks, use power tools with bare feet or sandals, overload scooters with 3x their load bearing capacity, and much more.
My heart goes out to everyone who lost someone on this flight, but it’s sadly not surprising. India really needs to invest in workplace and personal safety, which is going to be a gigantic cultural shift.
