A tragic airplane accident occurred in Ahmedabad as an Air India plane, with 241 passengers on board, crashed shortly after departure. Regrettably, more than 200 bodies have been recovered, yet amidst the devastation, one individual miraculously survived. The local police chief reported the discovery of 204 bodies, though it remains uncertain how many were passengers and how many were on the ground at the crash site. The aircraft collided with buildings housing medical professionals.
Despite the overwhelming grief, a glimmer of hope emerged with the survival of Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national, who recounted the incident to the press, describing a sudden loud noise followed by the crash, all within a matter of seconds. He even presented his boarding pass. Air India disclosed that the passengers included 169 Indians, 53 British nationals, seven from Portugal, and one Canadian.
Authorities continue their search for more survivors and are investigating the cause of the tragedy. While it is a somber day, the resilience of Vishwash Kumar Ramesh offers a ray of hope amidst the darkness.
