Air India Plane Crash Live Updates: India May ‘Ground Boeing 787’ After the airline confirms 241 aboard killed

The only survivor of Air India Plane Crash, who killed more than 240 people, said he was going out of a broken emergency exit after the plane hit a medical college hostel in the city of Ahmedabad.

Ramesh Viswashkumar, who police said was on seat 11a near the emergency exit and managed to escape through the broken hatch, was filmed after yesterday’s crash, limping on the street in a blood-colored t-shirt with bruises on the face.

That footage of social media of the British national of Indian origin was sent on almost all India’s news channels after Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner fell shortly after the start and broke out in a fireball.

It was the worst aviation disaster in a decade.

“I don’t think how I survived. For some time, I thought I was going to die too,” 40-year-old Viswashkumar told Indian State Broadcaster DD News from his hospital bed.

“But when I opened my eyes, I realized I was alive and I was trying to remove myself from the seat and flee from where I could. It was in front of my eyes that the air host and others (died).”

Mr. Viswashkumar said the plane seemed to be quieting in Midair for a few seconds shortly after starting and that the green and white cabin lights were turned on.

He said he could feel the engine rising, but then the aircraft crashed “at speed into the hostel.”

Doctors told local media that he had no major injuries.

“The side of the plane I was in the country on the ground and I could see that there was space outside the plane, so when my door broke, I tried to escape through it, and I did,” said Mr Viswashkumar.

“The opposite side of the aircraft was blocked by the building wall so no one could have come from there.”
