On June 12, a plane took off as one expects, but within seconds, disaster struck. AI-171 plummeted inexplicably into a building near Ahmedabad airport, veering from routine into horror. It wasn’t until afterward that a figure limped away from the burning wreckage the sole survivor, Viswashkumar Ramesh. 

In viral footage, he appears in a white T-shirt and grey trousers, bloodied and disoriented. Holding his phone, he mutters in Gujarati: “Plane fatyo che! Plane fatyo che!” (“The plane exploded!”) Around him, chaos reigns: black smoke billows, flames dance, sirens wail, and people cry out in shock. Yet he walks through the nightmare, through the fire.

Back in London now, Viswashkumar carries not just physical wounds but psychological burdens. He navigates the memory of smoke, screams, and loss his brother’s absence looms large. While bereaved families demand closure, his silence is heavy, and questions from the probe still hang unanswered. 

For him, life after the crash is a fate perhaps worse than death. To carry on, haunted by what he witnessed, believing he should have perished too this is the weight of survival.
