TRAGIC: Plane Flying To London From India Crashes Leaving Over 240 People Dead
The flight took off from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport and was headed to London.
Just minutes after taking off, the plane burst into flames and soon after hit a Medical College.
Initially, all 242 passengers on board were reported dead.
Until now!
Videos and pictures of a 40-year-old who was sitting in seat 11A on the plane show him walking out of the wreckage alive!
The Daily Mail had more details to add to the miraculous survival of the passenger:
A British father has miraculously survived the Air India plane disaster, believed to have claimed the lives of hundreds of people in India.
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, spoke from the safety of a hospital bed after escaping from the fallen Gatwick-bound Flight 171 this morning.
The passenger, who was in seat 11A when the plane came down in a residential area, recalled: 'Thirty seconds after take-off, 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,' he told local media. 'I was scared. I stood up and ran.
'There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital.'
Astonishing footage showed the passenger walking away from the scene with some visible injuries to his face.
Vishwash, who was returning home to London after visiting family, sustained injuries to his chest, eyes and feet, he told the Hindustan Times.
ADVERTISEMENTOn the ground, police said they had discovered another survivor in the hospital struck by the plane as it came down.
Authorities had said earlier they believed there were no survivors on the flight that crashed in Gujarat carrying 242 passengers, including 53 Britons.
The regional police chief said 'some locals would have also died', given that the plane smashed down into offices and accommodation for doctors close to a hospital.
Here are videos and images of Vishwash Kumar Ramesh:
