Miracle moment British Air India crash 'survivor' seemingly walks away from wreckage

A British man is reported to be the only named survivor of the Air India crash that has killed over 290 people.

British national, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, has been the only named "survivor" so far, and was filmed seemingly walking away from the scene unaided.

Local police confirmed they found Ramesh in seat 11A of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which plummeted into a residential area shortly after leaving Ahmedabad airport on Thursday (June 12).

According to Hindustan Times, he said, “Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly.”
