(Ahmedabad, India) – The Air India flight that tragically crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad, killed 241 of the 242 people on board. The sole survivor, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, was heading home to the UK with his brother, who was sitting in a different row. And amid the sadness and devastation the crash has wrought, many are stunned at the miraculous survival of the lone passenger.

Ramesh managed to escape the wreckage through a gap near a door by his seat, sustaining burns to his hand in the process. He initially believed he would not survive but regained consciousness and was able to unbuckle himself and flee the aircraft. Ramesh was admitted to Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, where he is currently in stable condition and receiving treatment for burns sustained while escaping.

The crash also affected those on the ground, as the aircraft struck the BJ Medical College and Hospital hostel, killing several people inside. According to hospital officials, the death toll may rise. The Indian Medical Association reported that at least three medical students died and 30 others were injured in the incident.
