Exclusive: As Uttarakhand chopper crash probe widens, focus on flights that took off before and after

Two other choppers flew safely after the Trans Bharat Aviation helicopter crashed in Uttarakhand’s Sthan Marwadi on Friday, according to officials. One departed from Badrinath just eight minutes after the crashed helicopter, while another left nearly an hour later. Additionally, two flights that took off before the Trans Bharat helicopter also completed their journeys without incident.

This information will be considered part of the ongoing investigation, as authorities try to determine whether the crash was caused by adverse weather conditions or other factors.
