An Air India flight with 232 people on board left the Indian capital on Tuesday morning destined to San Francisco and was supposed to land after 15 and a half hours. But even after 40 hours since takeoff the flight has not yet reached its destination because one of the engines of the Boeing 777 developed a snag en route. The Air India aircraft was then diverted to Russia's Far East where it made a safe landing at the remote Magadan Airport.
