Sole Survivor of Air India Crash Attends Brother's Funeral Amid Tragedy

Vishwashkumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the Air India crash last week, buried his brother Ajay in a funeral ceremony in Diu, India. Despite injuries, Ramesh took part in honoring his brother as the small town mourns the loss of 14 residents. New footage highlights his miraculous escape, while investigations continue into the crash's cause.

The British man who miraculously survived last week’s Air India plane crash has laid his brother to rest in a deeply emotional ceremony in Diu, western India. Vishwashkumar Ramesh, 40, who was the only survivor after the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner went down seconds after departing from Ahmedabad, participated in carrying his brother Ajay’s coffin. Tragically, Ajay was also a passenger on the ill-fated flight, which resulted in the loss of at least 270 lives, including 14 from Ramesh's hometown.

Despite being bandaged and suffering from injuries, Ramesh was visibly moved as he supported the coffin, with his mother and other mourners dressed in traditional attire walking alongside him. The funeral procession was met with rain as the community gathered to support the grieving family.

Ramesh's survival remains a mystery, as reports indicate he attempted to re-enter the burning wreckage in search of his brother. Footage emerged showing ambulance driver Satinder Singh Sandhu guiding Ramesh to safety amidst flames and chaos. Sandhu was initially unaware of Ramesh’s identity until later that day, when news reports identified him as the lone survivor.

Sitting in seat 11A, Ramesh now reflects on the moment he escaped the wreckage, describing a feeling of disbelief as he walked away from the destruction. Investigators continue to examine the crash site and analyze the flight's black boxes to determine the cause of this tragic event.

The crash occurred while the aircraft was on its way to London, and amidst the loss, the community consoles one another as investigations unfold.
