A tragic crash of an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner in Ahmedabad has shocked the world. The crash occurred just minutes after takeoff, killing 241 people on board and several more on the ground, including residents of a medical college hostel hit by the plane. Amid the devastation, one man, Viswashkumar Ramesh, miraculously survived. He was the only passenger to walk away from the disaster.
Ramesh, seated in 11A, described how he squeezed out of a broken emergency door and witnessed others, including cabin crew and passengers, perish in the flames. His escape has been called extraordinary by aviation safety experts, as the crash was considered unsurvivable.
DNA testing is underway to identify the victims, and authorities warn the process will take time. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has visited the crash site and met with the lone survivor, calling the incident saddening. Families of the victims, including those of British and Canadian nationals, are awaiting answers amid their grief.
The investigation continues as the flight’s black box has been recovered, hopefully shedding light on the cause of the accident. The tragedy has left a mark on the international community, highlighting both the fragility of life and the will to survive.
