MED
Victim-centered narrative with emphasis on institutional failure and obstruction. Opens with personal tragedy to establish emotional stakes, then pivots to systemic barriers. Frames families as passive victims facing 'roadblocks' rather than exploring investigative complexity.

Reduced consumer confidence in air travel safety and airline transparency; increased concern about post-incident support for bereaved families; potential demand for enhanced travel insurance and safety certifications; emotional and financial hardship for affected households.
Likely regulatory pressure for faster accident investigation timelines, mandatory airline communication protocols with families, stricter accountability measures, enhanced compensation frameworks, potential Boeing 787 fleet reviews, and international aviation safety standard revisions. Governments may impose penalties on Air India for obstruction.
