Vishwash Kumar, the sole survivor of the tragic Air India aviation disaster that claimed the lives of around 270 people, broke hearts after footage of him carrying his brother’s coffin spread online—limping under the weight of both the physical and emotional pain he felt.
The 40-year-old British national and his sibling, Ajay, were both on board the UK-bound AI171 flight when it crashed into a densely populated area mere seconds after takeoff.
Kumar, his face still swollen and covered in plasters, refused the help of others, mustering the strength to carry the coffin to its destination.
