NEW DELHI: When Malaysia Airlines MH 17 was shot down over Ukraine on Thursday night, an Air India flight with 126 passengers was right behind it. The flight, AI 113 en route from Birmingham to Delhi, and a Singapore Airlines flight flying home from Copenhagen were both about 25 to 50 nautical miles (40 to 80 km) behind the ill-fated Malaysian Boeing 777. This gap, say pilots, is covered in less than five minutes. Both the planes clearly had a narrow escape.
