In a tragic aviation accident that claimed 241 lives, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh emerged as the sole survivor of the Air India crash in Ahmedabad this June. The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner went down shortly after take-off, engulfing the aircraft in flames and leaving a trail of devastation. Among the victims were 169 Indian nationals and 52 Britons, marking one of the deadliest incidents involving British citizens.

Survivor's Struggle with Trauma

Ramesh, a 39-year-old Briton, has described his survival as a miracle but is haunted by the loss of his younger brother, Ajay, who was also on the flight. "I lost everything – my happiness. God gave me life but took all my happiness," he expressed in an emotional interview. The crash has left him grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), experiencing constant flashbacks and sleepless nights.

Impact on Family and Personal Life

The tragedy has deeply affected Ramesh's family, who are struggling to cope with the loss. "My family have given me good support, but they are mentally broken," he shared. Ramesh finds solace in solitude, often isolating himself from his wife and young son. His advisers, Sanjiv Patel and Radd Seiger, have been instrumental in providing support during this challenging time.

Ongoing Investigation and Support

A preliminary report by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau revealed that the fuel supply to the engines was cut off just seconds after take-off. While the investigation continues, Air India has emphasized its commitment to supporting Ramesh and the families affected by the tragedy. This incident has sparked discussions on aviation safety and the need for stringent checks to prevent such disasters.
