Survivor Describes Moments Before Impact
Viswashkumar Ramesh, the sole survivor, recounted his terrifying experience to India’s national broadcaster. “The aircraft seemed to become stuck immediately after takeoff,” he said, still visibly shaken. “Then the lights came on, and right after that it accelerated but seemed unable to gain height before it crashed.” Ramesh described how the side of the plane he was seated on landed on the ground floor of a building, creating a narrow escape route. He managed to unfasten his seatbelt and force himself free. “When I opened my eyes, I realized I was alive,” he stated. He was met by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a visit to the hospital where he is being treated for burns and injuries.
