### Pre-Crash Videos Indicate Insufficient Altitude Before Descent
Footage captured just prior to the crash reveals that the aircraft failed to gain adequate altitude before beginning its descent. While the official cause of the accident remains undisclosed, investigators have confirmed to ABC News that they successfully retrieved two black boxes from the crash site. Although the devices were damaged, they are still functional.
“This is a significant advancement in the investigation,” stated Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, the Indian Minister of Civil Aviation. “These findings will greatly assist in the inquiry regarding the incident.”
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national, was the sole survivor of the tragedy. He occupied seat 11A in the emergency exit row and managed to escape through a nearby emergency exit, as reported by The New York Times. Tragically, he was traveling with his brother, Ajay Kumar Ramesh, who did not survive.
A third brother, Nayan Kumar Ramesh, recounted the phone call he received after the crash. “When the incident occurred, my brother video called us, and all he could express was, ‘I have no idea how I survived or got out of the plane,’” he shared. “He repeatedly said, ‘I can’t see my brother or anyone else.’ His main concern during the call was to emphasize, ‘Find Ajay, you must find Ajay.’”
Nayan added, “The family is devastated, shattered, and heartbroken.”
