There has indeed been a recent, tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad, India, involving an Air India flight from Ahmedabad to London. This incident, which occurred just yesterday, Friday, June 13, 2025, has a truly remarkable and widely reported survival story.
Vishwashkumar Ramesh, a British national of Indian origin, is the sole survivor of the Air India flight that crashed shortly after takeoff. The plane had 242 people on board (230 passengers and 12 crew members), and tragically, all but Ramesh perished.
Here's what is known about his miraculous survival:
* Location on the plane: Ramesh was seated in Seat 11A, which was located near an emergency exit.
* The crash: He has described the plane veering, descending rapidly, and then suddenly splitting in two. He recalls a loud noise and then being thrown from the aircraft.
* His escape: Accounts from Ramesh himself and those who treated him indicate that he was disoriented but managed to unbuckle his seatbelt and, seeing a broken emergency door/opening in the fuselage, was able to walk out of the wreckage. He noted that the part of the plane he was in landed on the ground floor of a medical hostel, and the impact created a space for him to get out.
* Immediate aftermath: Video footage shows him, bloodied and dazed, limping towards an ambulance. He was taken to Ahmedabad Civil Hospital with multiple injuries but is reported to be out of danger.
* His own words: Ramesh has expressed disbelief at his survival, calling it a "miracle." He told media, "I can't believe myself how I came out of it alive, because for a while I thought I was going to die as well. But when I opened my eyes, I saw that I was alive. So I tried to open my seat belt, and I was able to get out."
* Bittersweet survival: Sadly, his brother, Ajay, who was sitting across the aisle in seat 11J, did not survive the crash.
His story has gained significant attention, with many referring to his survival as a "miracle" given the devastating nature of the crash. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also visited him in the hospital.
