U.S. attorney Mike Andrews, representing over 65 families affected by the tragic Air India AI171 crash in Ahmedabad, criticized the delay in compensation and aid, stating that such bureaucratic hurdles would not have existed if Ratan Tata were alive. Andrews praised Tata’s legacy of compassion and accountability, suggesting his leadership would have ensured swift support for victims. The June 12 crash killed 260 people, including 229 passengers, 12 crew, and 19 on the ground. Andrews cited heartbreaking cases, including a bedridden mother left without support after losing her only son. He also outlined potential legal action based on aircraft defects or operational lapses, pending analysis of flight data and cockpit recordings. (PC: Nikkei Asia & Getty Images)
