A woman has hailed divine intervention as she told how she missed being caught up in the deadly Air India plane crash today by just ten minutes - after she got stuck in traffic.
Bhoomi Chauhan was due to fly to London Gatwick airport onboard the ill-fated flight AI171 that crashed just minutes after takeoff in Ahmedabad, west India today.
Ms Chauhan said she was 'devastated' and left shaking upon learning of the flight's fate after she was ten minutes too late to board the plane due to a lengthy traffic jam.
She told Republic: 'I am completely devastated after hearing about the loss [of lives]. My body is literally shivering. I am not able to talk.'
'My mind is totally blank now after hearing all that has happened,' she continued, adding she is 'thankful to God' for saving her.
