A young doctor couple and their beloved children posed for a final family photograph before boarding a flight from India to the United Kingdom.
Their smiles told a story of dreams about to take flight—an exciting journey toward a better life, full of opportunities and fresh starts.

Heartfelt tributes continue to pour in on social media, with people across the globe expressing condolences and prayers for the souls of the departed.
