'I just walked out': The sole survivor of the Air India crash shares his story
Briefly

Viswashkumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of a tragic Air India crash that claimed over 240 lives, expressed disbelief at his survival. He recounted opening his eyes post-crash, unbuckling his seatbelt, and managing to exit the plane. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad, striking a medical college hostel. Ramesh, who was returning to London after visiting family, described the aircraft feeling stuck moments after takeoff and recalled seeing emergency lights before the impact. His exit was facilitated by a broken door, allowing him to walk out safely amidst the debris and destruction.
I can't believe myself how I came out of it alive, because for a while I thought I was going to die as well.
After takeoff, after 5-10 seconds, it seemed like the aircraft was stuck.
When my door broke, I saw there was a bit of space, so I tried to get out and I was able to get out.
I just walked out.
