Abdhi Patel had traveled to India to care for her mother, but was "very nervous" to leave her young son for two weeks, Atif Karim, Patel's colleague at Zone Beauty Studio in Northampton, England, told The Independent. Karim said that Patel, 40, felt a "sense of duty" to travel to India, but "you could tell it was weighing on her."

The Air India flight fell from the sky on Thursday and killed at least 270 people in Gujarat state, officials said Saturday.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) -The head of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Stephanie Pope, met the chairman of Air India on Monday in India, two sources said, as the companies seek to find the cause of last week's fatal crash involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Air India's Chairman N. Chandrasekaran on Monday told staff that last week's plane crash that killed at least 271 people should be a catalyst to build a safer airline, urging employees to stay resolute amid any criticism.

Residents of the building have said they owe their lives to Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and co-pilot Captain Clive Kunder.

An Air India Boeing 787, the same kind of plane that crashed 4 days earlier, was forced to turn around after a midair "technical issue," the airline says.

All seven people on a helicopter in northern India were killed early on Sunday when it crashed while ferrying passengers on a popular Hindu pilgrimage route in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, officials said.
