Popular British TV presenter Piers Morgan has described as "astonishing" the survival of Leicester resident Vishwashkumar Ramesh from the devastating Air India plane crash that claimed at least 265 lives.
BenriNews reported on Thursday that the ill-fated Air India flight lost signal shortly after departing from Ahmedabad airport. The aircraft, which was headed to London, United Kingdom, tragically crashed into a residential area of India's Ahmedabad city on Friday.
According to authorities, the passenger manifest included 169 Indians, 53 British nationals, 7 Portuguese, and 1 Canadian. Among the British passengers was Vishwashkumar Ramesh from Leicester, who remarkably emerged as the sole survivor of the catastrophic crash.
A Miraculous Survival
Reacting to what many have described as a miracle, Piers Morgan wrote on X: "Amid all the horror of the Air India plane crash, this story of British national Vishwashkumar Ramesh from Leicester, who was in seat 11a, being the sole survivor and walking away with just a few scratches, is truly astonishing."
Ramesh, who was seated in 11A, reportedly walked away from the wreckage with only minor scratches, defying the overwhelming odds against survival in such a catastrophic incident.
The crash investigation is ongoing, with authorities working to determine the cause of the accident that resulted in one of the deadliest aviation disasters involving a flight bound for the United Kingdom in recent years.
This incident marks a tragic chapter in Air India's operational history and has prompted renewed discussions about aviation safety protocols for international flights.
