A 40-year-old man, Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, walked away from the wreckage of Air India Flight AI 171 that crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad airport on Thursday, surviving a tragedy that claimed at least 204 lives.
For Vishwas, a British national, what began as a routine journey on Air India Flight AI 171 to London turned into a nightmare. From his hospital bed, he recounted how everything changed within 30 seconds of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner’s takeoff at 1.39 pm from Ahmedabad airport.
