The death toll in the Indian plane crash has risen to 270 after search teams found ten more bodies in the state of Gujarat. The Boeing plane flying to London crashed into a medical college dormitory in a residential area of Ahmedabad minutes after takeoff on Thursday, killing at least 29 people on the ground. Only one passenger survived. Most bodies were charred and unrecognizable, and hundreds of relatives of the victims have provided DNA samples for identification. Authorities say it usually takes 72 hours to complete DNA matching but are speeding up the process. Investigators have recovered the plane’s black box and started analyzing the data.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets focus on the human tragedy and the impact on the victims’ families, emphasizing the need for accountability and improved safety regulations in aviation. They highlight the slow DNA identification process and call for better support for the victims’ relatives.
Center: Centrist sources report the facts of the crash, the rising death toll, and the ongoing investigation. They provide balanced coverage of the incident, including official statements from authorities and updates on the search and rescue efforts without much editorializing.
Right: Right-leaning media may emphasize the technical aspects of the crash, such as the investigation into the black box and potential causes. They might also focus on the resilience of the sole survivor and the response of emergency services, sometimes linking the incident to broader discussions on aviation safety standards.
