Sole survivor: I watched air hostesses die before me
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh escaped wreckage of Air India crash by climbing out of broken emergency door

The British man who survived the Ahmedabad plane crash saw air hostesses die before him as he made his miraculous escape from the disaster.

Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, walked away from the crash of Air India flight 171 after climbing out of the broken emergency exit door next to him.

More than 240 people died in what was the deadliest plane accident in a decade.

Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, visited Mr Ramesh in the aftermath of the crash.

The businessman, who had been flying back to the UK after tending to his business in India, told the Indian state broadcaster DD News from his hospital bed: “I don’t believe how I survived. For some time I thought I was also going to die.
“But when I opened my eyes I realised I was alive, and I tried to unbuckle myself from the seat and escape from where I could.

“I saw people dying in front of my eyes – the air hostesses, and two people I saw near me ... I walked out of the rubble.”

Mr Ramesh continued: “The side of the plane I was in landed on the ground, and I could see that there was space outside the aircraft. So when my door broke I tried to escape through it, and I did.

“The opposite side of the aircraft was blocked by a building wall [of a doctors’ hostel where the plane crashed], so nobody could have come out of there.”

Mr Ramesh was sitting in seat 11A, next to the emergency doors over the front of the wings. This is the structurally most robust part of a plane and gives passengers the best chance of escaping a crash if they survive the initial impact.
He said the plane appeared to almost come to a standstill in mid-air for a few seconds shortly after take-off, and the green and white cabin lights were turned on.

He added that he could feel the engine thrust increasing, but then the plane “crashed with speed into the hostel”
Addressing what had happened before the incident, Mr Ramesh added: “When the flight took off, within five to 10 seconds it felt like it was stuck in the air.

“Suddenly, the lights started flickering – green and white. The aircraft wasn’t gaining altitude and was just gliding before it suddenly slammed into a building and exploded.”

“At first, I thought I was dead. Later I realised I was still alive and saw an opening in the fuselage. I managed to unbuckle myself, used my leg to push through that opening, and crawled out.”
Doctors told local media that Mr Ramesh did not sustain any major injuries, and he said he walked out of the crash site with only burn injuries on his left arm.
