Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the devastating Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, has shared his harrowing experience. The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, carrying 242 passengers and crew members, crashed minutes after takeoff on Thursday, claiming at least 260 lives.
Ramesh, a 40-year-old British citizen, was traveling with his brother, Ajay Kumar Ramesh, 45, who tragically did not survive. In an emotional account from his hospital bed, Vishwash described the terrifyingmoments:
“Thirty seconds after takeoff, there was a loud noise, and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly. When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me.”
Ramesh credited his rescue to a stranger who grabbed him and rushed him to the hospital in an ambulance. His account paints a grim picture of the disaster, and his survival has been hailed as nothing short of miraculous.
