Uttarakhand helicopter crash: Couple's life saved by kindness

A helicopter crash near Kedarnath took seven lives, but Pooja and Pravin Mahajan survived after giving up their seats for a sick teenager and her grandmother.
Sadly, Pooja's cousin Shraddha Jaiswal, her husband Rajkumar, and their two-year-old daughter Kashi were among those who didn't make it.

TL;DR

The Jaiswal family was traveling for a pilgrimage

The Jaiswal family was traveling from Maharashtra's Yavatmal for a pilgrimage when the crash happened due to heavy fog and zero visibility.
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is looking into what went wrong.
This heartbreaking incident is a reminder of how unpredictable travel can be, especially in tough weather.
