"We didn't bother about who had Covid or not. All that we had in mind was to save as many lives as possible," said Puthiyakath."All I heard throughout the drive was him crying about his wife and child. I can never forget that. I haven't checked the car but I am sure there are bloodstains on the back seat.
"We saw the pilots but they were still strapped to their seats and there was no gap for us to rescue them."Tractors and cranes had to move the debris to free the bodies of Deepak Vasant Sathe, a former Indian Air Force test pilot, and Akhilesh Kumar."I had a child in my arms. She had bits of the debris on her," he added. "The rain and the darkness only made it worse for us to find people.
