Mr Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the lone survivor of the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner plane that crashed on June 12, 2025 at the Indian city of Ahmedabad, has told newsmen what he could recollect on how he escaped miraculously from the tragic crash that killed all the remaining 241 passengers and crew.

He said this in his hospital bed on Friday, while speaking in Hindi to Indian national broadcaster, DD News.

Ramesh said: “Everything happened in front of me, and even I couldn’t believe how I managed to come out alive from that.”

He added: “Within a minute after takeoff, suddenly… it felt like something got stuck… I realised something had happened, and then suddenly the plane’s green and white lights turned on.

“After that, the plane seemed to speed up, heading straight towards what turned out to be a hostel of a hospital. Everything was visible in front of my eyes when the crash happened,” he explained.

Reports quoted Ramesh’s family in the UK as saying his brother was also in the ill fated plane.

Meanwhile, Nigeria has sent condolence message to India over the tragedy.

A statement by the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, said: “Nigeria stands in solidarity with India during this period of immense grief and unfortunate loss.”
