The passenger trip collapsed into the hostel block of a clinical college in Ahmedabad 5 months back, eliminating all of the crew, just about one of the 230 guests and 19 individuals on the ground. We’re still waiting for the final report from the Indian AAIB; in July I covered what we understand up until now from the initial report , that makes it clear that the gas had been cut off to the engines straight after liftoff.
The display was created as a design for a Hindu festival which celebrates Durga the Mother Goddess: the goddess of power, strength and security and among one of the most vital sirens in Hinduism. Durga Puja, the event which honors her, happens over 10 days in Ashvin (September-October) and is taken into consideration one of the most crucial event of the year for Bengali Hindus, especially in West Bengal. It is standard to make fancy short-term structures, referred to as puja pandals, to admire Durga.
This puja pandal was created in Chakpur. The setup shows a big aircraft with the Air India tail and logo visible, collapsed right into a property structure with substitute flames and flickering lights. A plaything aeroplane affixed to a rope slides in the direction of the pandal, with an intense flash as it strikes the building.
According to a write-up in Paliparan , although pandals are celebrated for their fancy layouts and innovative styles, the video of the plane crash-themed pandal has actually triggered outrage across India.
Nevertheless, The Indian Express composed that the airplane pandals were a success among fans and targets’ kin, with the organisers stating that the pandal should be maintained open up until 2 am because of the high number of individuals intending to see it.
Developed on the motif of the June 12 Air India airplane collision in Ahmedabad’s Meghaninagar, the pandal by Ganesh Yuva Mitra Mandal pays tribute to the sufferers of the crash and “salutes” the frontline warriors, including authorities of the fire department, 108 emergency situation solutions, police division, besides highlighting the role of media.
Under a black tent– the colour representing grieving– and against the backdrop of a huge cutout of the charred hostel structure of BJ Medical College, stands clay statues of Ganesha and his vaahan mushaka. They are dressed as firemens, and 108 emergency situation employee.

The pandal is a hit among the citizens as well as people from outside Ahmedabad. “We have followers from Rajkot and various other cities. There are relative of the crash victims seeing the pandal as well. The queue is uncontrollable throughout the night,” Hardik Patel, 32, a volunteer claimed.
Redditor maygamer 96 published the video clip to r/ATBGE , which means Horrible Preference but Terrific Execution , for every little thing that displays top quality craftsmanship in the least classy means possible. Maygamer 96 supplied some context.
Durga Puja/Navratri is a ten-day celebration commemorated by Hindu neighborhoods in India right prior to the start of winter season, the former specifically by the east Indian states of West Bengal, Assam & & Tripura.
For the last 4 days of the celebration (starting at Shoshthi (6 th day) and upright Bijoya Dashami (lit. “Triumphant 10 th day”)), east Indian communities worked out all across India will set up pandals , or momentary joyful locations real estate an idol of the Siren Durga– mostly in her character of Kali, the destroyer of the devil Mahishasura.
A current trend amongst the committees that arrange these pandals is to contend for the most artistically opulent pandal– and typically pandals are themed around both historic and contemporary themes in Bengali/Assamese culture or the larger Indian country. This typically produces an impressive collection of artistic frameworks across cities such as Kolkata.
This one nonetheless is from the town of Chakpur in Jangipada area, and shows the fanatic crash that was the Air India 171 collision in Ahmedabad some months back, where a Boeing 787 Dreamliner collapsed right into a medical university soon after takeoff. So yeah, awful taste … but great execution.
Mountain-Ad- 460, an immigrant who has resided in India for 10 years, offers some additional information on the festival :
In Kolkata, a lot of points occur during Durga Puja that would certainly be undesirable throughout one more part of the year. Exact Same like Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai, points occur during that event that would or else not be tolerated.
It belongs to the reason why several Communities select to self separate themselves in a manner, using colonies/societies, that are “only” for participants of their area. Since individuals from Maharashtra desire a big Ganesh Chaturthi program, even if they live beyond Mumbai. Much like Bangali individuals desire a big durga event, also outside of Kolkata. To this impact, they can have their huge event within their own society, area, without troubling others with their programs that can run up until 4 in the morning occasionally.
It is traditional for the puja pandals to portray modern-day occasions, consisting of catastrophes and questionable subjects. In previous years, installations have actually recreated deadly events, consisting of the tragic flooding in Kerala in 2018 bring about 483 deaths, the suicide battle in Pulwama in 2019, the COVID- 19 pandemic in 2020 and the physical violence in Manipur which has eliminated over 200 and displaced over 50, 000 individuals into alleviation camps.
In fact, there was another pandal centered around the crash of Air India trip 171 as a component of the Ganesh Chaturthi events in Ahmedabad, where the airplane collapsed. India Today reports that it shows the consequences of the accident, with fire teams trying to respond to the wreckage and Lord Ganesha in the background. This event and pandal took place over a month back and obtained a lot less focus.
There’s an additional referral to a pandal in Nagpur which recreated the accident; nonetheless I couldn’t also locate a video of that one.
That said, I can not picture that Air India is pleased for this imagery associated with their livery.
