A tragic crash involving an Air India flight from Ahmedabad to London has claimed the lives of most onboard, but a miraculous survival has brought attention to Seat 11A, where a British national was found alive. The survivor, currently undergoing treatment, is one of the few glimmers of hope in an otherwise devastating accident.

242 People Were Onboard the Aircraft

According to officials, the ill-fated flight had 230 passengers and 12 crew members, including:

• 169 Indian nationals

• 53 British nationals

• 7 Portuguese nationals

• 1 Canadian citizen

The aircraft had just taken off from Ahmedabad Airport and was en route to Gatwick Airport, London, when it crashed moments after takeoff and burst into flames.

🙏 Miracle Survivor Found on Seat 11A

Ahmedabad Police Commissioner G.S. Malik confirmed that a man seated on Seat 11A, identified as Ramesh Vishwas Kumar, was found alive at the crash site. Though severely injured, he was immediately rushed to Civil Hospital in Asarwa, Ahmedabad, where he is currently under treatment.

Ramesh, a 40-year-old British citizen of Indian origin, sustained serious injuries to his chest, eyes, and legs. Speaking to the media from his hospital bed, he said:

"Just 30 seconds after takeoff, I heard a loud noise, and everything went dark. I don’t remember much. When I woke up, I was surrounded by dead bodies. I don’t know how I survived. I just know that some people carried me to the hospital."

 Ramesh Was Returning to London After Visiting Family

Ramesh revealed that he had recently visited his family in India and was flying back to London with his brother Ajay Kumar Ramesh. A resident of London for over 20 years, Ramesh’s wife and children still live in the UK. From his hospital bed, he has been pleading for help in locating his missing brother, fearing the worst.

One Man Missed the Flight—and Survived

In an incredible twist of fate, media reports state that one man missed the flight after arriving at the airport just 10 minutes late. This unintentional delay ended up saving his life, as he was not allowed to board the aircraft.

 Investigation Underway

The exact cause of the crash is under investigation by aviation authorities. Preliminary findings suggest that something went wrong within seconds of takeoff, leading to the plane plummeting and catching fire shortly after hitting the ground.

A Reminder of Life’s Fragility

This tragic incident has shaken the aviation world and the families of those who were on board. But amidst the sorrow, Seat 11A has emerged as a symbol of survival and hope, highlighting how even in the worst of disasters, life sometimes finds a way.
