Flight 171: Family of five perish flying from India to London

For six long years, Pratik Joshi lived alone in London—working tirelessly as a software professional, driven by a single dream: to one day build a better, brighter future abroad for his wife and their three little children, who waited patiently back in India.

That day had finally arrived.

After years of late-night calls, visa hurdles, and countdowns marked on calendars, the family was finally reuniting. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a dedicated medical professional, resigned from her job in India. Their home was packed up, goodbyes were tearfully exchanged, and hearts were full of hope. A new life awaited them. A future they had only imagined was now within reach.

This morning, they boarded Air India flight 171 to London together—as a family. Smiling. Laughing. Pratik clicked a selfie, all five of them framed by airplane windows and dreams, and sent it to relatives:
“We’re finally flying home.”

But they never made it.

The plane crashed.
All five lives—gone.
In an instant.

No warning. No goodbye. Just silence.

What was meant to be a beginning became the end. What was meant to be the first page of a new chapter became the final paragraph of a beautiful, unfinished story.

A father’s relentless effort.
A mother’s sacrifice.
Three innocent children with the whole world ahead of them—
All turned to ash in a moment of unimaginable tragedy.

Copied.

Airline operators lambast Oshiomhole over ‘unruly’ airport incident, as Aviation minister orders investigation

Concerned citizens and organisations have continued to criticise former governor of Edo State, senator Adams Oshiomhole for disrupting operations at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport earlier this week when he arrived late for a flight and resorted to selfhelp against the rules of engagement.

The latest condemnation is from the umbrella association of indigenous carriers – Airlines Operators of Nigeria,which described the senator’s action as unruly and unacceptable.

The spokesperson of the Airlines Operators of Nigeria, Prof Obiora Okonkwo, on Friday night said rights of air passengers are expected to confirm to rules of regulatory authorities for the safety of lives, rather than the caprics of an individual, no matter how highly placed.

“AON has had enough frustration and distractions in trying to offer services to Nigerians. Meanwhile, the one that just happened with the high-profile Nigerian is another distraction to us. We have taken an interest in all of the press statements released by the distinguished senator, and AON also had a full briefing from Air Peace on this incident.

“As much as we understand and appreciate the fact that every passenger has a right, it is only limited to what is allowed by ICAO and the aviation industry. There is no amount of disappointment, if at all, from any airline that should lead you to self-help. What happened is a typical example of unruly behaviour. That is not acceptable, Air Peace is a respectable airline, they carry 40-50 per cent of all the domestic passengers, and they deserve respect.”

Meanwhile, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has ordered a full-scale investigation into the matter and directed all aviation agencies to exercise restraint.

Keyamo appealed for calm and urged both sides to desist from further accusations and counter-accusations on the matter.

67 year old grandfather ordained Catholic priest

Please Kindly Share This Story

Last week Saturday, June 7, 2025, inside the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit, Michigan, something happened that stunned the world.

As the choir sang and the incense rose, Deacon Patrick Bruen walked toward the altar to be ordained a Catholic priest.

But just moments before that sacred rite…

He held his grandson in his arms.

Fifty-five priests surrounded him, watching in awe.
Not one of them had ever held their own child or grandchild.
Because Roman Catholic priests don’t marry.

But Patrick Bruen once did.

He was married to Georgiana, the love of his life, for 41 years.
Together, they raised 3 children.
Welcomed 15 grandchildren.
Laughed. Prayed. Worked. Wept. Grew old.

And then… Georgiana died in 2020.

In the quiet heartbreak of widowhood, Patrick heard God call again.

This time, to the altar of sacrifice, not the altar of matrimony.

And he said yes.

At 67 years old, Patrick entered seminary formation.
And on June 7, 2025, Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron laid hands on him.
He became Father Pat Bruen, a priest of Jesus Christ, forever.

📿 First, he said “I do” to his wife.
Now, he says “This is My Body” at the altar.
Two vocations. One faithful heart.

💬 “We’re both trying to live according to God’s plan,” he said, standing beside a much younger man ordained that same day.
“Though our lives are different, the call is the same.”

Because vocation is not a moment. It’s a lifelong conversation with God.

🔥 To every man discerning the priesthood, young or old:

This story is for you.

If you’ve ever felt too late…
Too broken…
Too far gone…

You’re not.

The priesthood isn’t just for the young.
It’s for the willing.
For the faithful.
For those who still dare to ask:

👉🏽 “Lord, what are You asking of me now?”

And have the courage to answer.

Welcome, Father Pat.
You once held your grandson.
Now, you hold the Eucharist.
You remind us all
