“Miracle Amid Tragedy: Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, Seat 11A, Confirmed Sole Survivor of Air India Crash in Ahmedabad

 In what is being described as a miraculous survival against impossible odds, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a passenger seated on 11A, has been confirmed as the sole survivor of the tragic Air India Flight AI-267 crash that occurred near Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad late Wednesday evening.

The ill-fated aircraft, en route from Delhi to Ahmedabad, lost contact with air traffic control during its final approach amid adverse weather conditions. According to preliminary reports from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the plane encountered severe turbulence just minutes before landing, which may have contributed to the catastrophic descent. Emergency services responded swiftly to the crash site on the outskirts of the city, but recovery efforts were severely hampered by the debris and ongoing rain.

Amid the charred remains of the aircraft, search and rescue teams were stunned to discover one survivor — Vishwash Kumar Ramesh — conscious but severely injured. He was promptly airlifted to Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad, where he is currently in stable condition in the intensive care unit. Hospital officials confirmed he suffered multiple fractures and internal injuries but remains responsive and coherent.

According to sources, Ramesh, a 40-year-old IT consultant from Bengaluru, was traveling to Ahmedabad on a business assignment. Medical teams and trauma specialists are now working round-the-clock to ensure his recovery, while psychological counseling has also been initiated given the extreme emotional toll of the ordeal.

Authorities have launched a full-scale investigation into the cause of the crash. The black box has been recovered and is expected to offer critical insights into the flight’s final moments. “This is a devastating day for Indian aviation,” said DGCA spokesperson Meera Patel at a press briefing. “We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and salute the bravery of the emergency responders who risked their lives during the operation.”

Air India has announced a full refund to the affected families and pledged financial assistance for the next of kin of those who lost their lives. Additionally, a special inquiry committee has been constituted to examine safety protocol adherence and possible mechanical failure.

The sheer improbability of Vishwash Kumar Ramesh’s survival has gripped the nation. Social media has been flooded with messages of support and prayers. Experts say it’s exceedingly rare for a person to survive such a high-impact aviation accident, making this one of the most astonishing survival stories in recent Indian aviation history.

As investigations continue and families begin to mourn, the miraculous survival of seat 11A offers a sliver of hope in an otherwise heartbreaking tragedy.
