New video has emerged from the site of the devastating Air India Flight AI171 crash, showing Vishwas Kumar Ramesh — the sole survivor of the tragedy — walking away from the smouldering wreckage with smoke billowing behind him.
The footage, now widely circulated online, captures the surreal moment when Ramesh, dressed in a white t-shirt and clutching his phone, staggered out of the burning debris as stunned locals rushed to help him.
The incident has ignited public emotion and disbelief over how Ramesh, a 40-year-old British national of Indian origin, managed to escape a crash that killed all 241 others on board — including crew members and passengers from multiple nationalities.
