It was supposed to be a normal flight home. Minutes after takeoff from Ahmedabad, Flight AI171 erupted in flames. Of the 242 people onboard, 241 tragically lost their lives—including passengers and five medical students below—leaving one survivor apnews.com+2cbsnews.com+2thesun.ie+2telegraph.co.uk+13theguardian.com+13abcnews.go.com+13. I remember watching the rescue teams rush across wrecked fuselage and fallen wreckage. I might’ve been the only survivor, but as I walked through the rubble… what caught my breath wasn’t the pain of loss.

The neighbors said it was strange. Every evening at exactly 6:00 p.m., the lights would flick on in the little yellow house at the end of the lane. And just like clockwork, Mr. Harris would appear in the kitchen window—setting the table. Two plates.Two glasses.Two neatly folded cloth napkins. But only one chair ever got filled. No one really spoke to Mr. Harris after his wife, Lorna, passed. They had been married 51 years. The kind of couple who didn’t say much in public but never seemed to stop loving…
