We could not exit from there. All the MBBS students and the lady who serves (us lunch) were together. Then I went to the side and saw a window available (on the ground floor).

"So that is human nature, isn’t it? When our own people are injured, our first response is to help them. So the doctors who managed to escape out of the canteen, the first thing that they did was they went back in and dug out their colleagues who were trapped inside and not able to get out on their own. And we went to meet them. They are still in hospitals taking care and they are so grateful to their colleagues because if not for them they might not even have survived because the rescue teams take time coming. Those who were already there, they did that and that spirit has continued till date, till this moment.”

STORYLINE:
Navin Chaudhary had just begun eating his meal when a loud bang startled him.
He turned back to see a massive fire taking over the dining area where he and other trainee doctors had assembled for lunch.
The blaze approaching him, he rushed toward a window and jumped.
From the ground, looking upwards, the sight of the Air India plane’s tail cone hanging from the burning building propelled Chaudhary and fellow medical students into action.
“There was fire and many were injured,” said Chaudhary.
