Andrews spoke to ANI on Sunday and emphasized that Ratan Tata’s way of working and humility could have prevented such obstacles faced by the families immersed in mourning. He said, “Even in America, we know who Ratan Tata was. We know a little bit about his working style in America and his attention on taking care of our employees, so we know that if he was here today, we do not think that employees, victims and people on the aircraft and land have to face such bureaucracy process in which they had to delay in payment.”
The US lawyer further described a family case, where an elderly woman, who is dependent on her son killed in an accident, is waiting for compensation to meet her medical needs.
