The sole survivor of the horrific plane crash in June, which claimed 241 lives, has broken his silence months later. Vishwashkumar Ramesh, who lost his brother in the crash, shared his traumatic experience and how his life has changed since the disaster. Ramesh's words, expressing his daily physical and emotional pain, tore at the heartstrings of all who heard his story.
The airplane's collision with the B.J. Medical College building led to a catastrophic disaster; resulting in the loss of lives of both passengers onboard and 19 individuals on the ground.
Ramesh recounted his harrowing escape from the wreckage, bloodied and with only one shoe, but never seeing his brother Ajay again. Speaking to ITV News, Ramesh shared his trauma, stating, 'My life has been completely transformed. I endure pain every day. My family has been torn apart, I don't communicate with anyone. I've been sitting in my room for days without stepping out.'
'My son wants to spend time with me, but I'm unable to set aside time for him. I'm completely mentally exhausted.'
When it was said to Ramesh that he had 'miraculously survived,' he expressed his feelings by saying, 'They say something nice, but I lost my brother on the same plane.'
Ramesh, who believes he did not receive enough support from Air India after the accident, wants the company to make direct contact with him. His legal advisor, Radd Seiger, stated, 'What Air India needs to do is very simple. The company's senior executives should meet with Ramesh and listen to his pain.'
In a statement from Air India, it was stated, 'Supporting Mr. Ramesh and all families is our highest priority. Our senior executives are in contact with the families to convey their condolences.'
