Context

We often focus on the casualties of major disasters, but stories like the recent Air India crash remind us that the trauma extends far beyond the passengers. It highlights the invisible pain of families and local communities who deal with the aftermath long after the cameras leave. How can we as a society better support the 'forgotten' victims of such tragedies, and does our media coverage focus too much on the victims on board while ignoring the long-term impact on those who were left behind?
