Seat 11A Miracle: British Passenger Vishwash Kumar Ramesh Escapes Air India Disaster That Killed 241

In the aftermath of one of India's deadliest aviation disasters, rescue crews have pulled a lone survivor from the wreckage of Flight AI171—a devastating crash that killed over 200 people when a Boeing 787-8 went down in a densely populated neighborhood of Meghaninagar shortly after takeoff.

The survivor, identified as 48-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British citizen of Indian origin known locally as Ramesh Vishwashkumar, was rescued from the charred fuselage and is currently in stable condition, according to Blic. Authorities say he "miraculously survived the crash and was taken to the hospital, where he is not in life-threatening danger."
