The sole survivor of the Air India plane crash, which killed 241 people on board, Viswashkumar Ramesh, feels like the 'luckiest man' alive, but is also suffering physically and mentally. He escaped the wreckage of the London-bound flight in Ahmedabad in what many consider a miracle. Viswashkumar lost his brother Ajay, who was seated just a few rows away, in the crash. Since returning home to Leicester, he has been struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and has been unable to communicate with his wife and four-year-old son.
Flames engulfed the Boeing 787 flight shortly after take-off, and videos showed Ramesh walking away from the wreckage with superficial injuries. In a tearful interview, he expressed, 'I'm only one survivor. Still, I'm not believing. It's a miracle.' Ramesh described the overwhelming pain of losing his brother, who had always been his support. The aftermath of the crash has deeply affected his family; Ramesh and his mother have withdrawn from communication, creating an emotional distance.
Air India has offered him an interim compensation payment of £21,500, which has been deemed insufficient by his advisers. They are pressing for more support for Ramesh, who has also seen his family fishing business collapse due to the tragedy. Ramesh's advisers have indicated a need for a meeting with Air India executives, stating that more urgent attention and care are needed for him and other families affected. The ongoing investigation into the crash has left many, especially Ramesh, seeking answers and understanding.
