He was flying with 241 people, including his own brother, but none of them made it out alive. Yes, he did. However, for Viswashkumar Ramesh, the only survivor of the June 12 Air India airline accident, what the world considers a miracle has turned into a nightmare as he battles the trauma and the death of his sibling in the same catastrophe.
On June 12, just after takeoff, the Gatwick-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner airliner crashed near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and Ramesh was sitting on 11a, next to the emergency exit.
Ramesh was able to escape the aircraft, which was flying under the callsign AI171, but his brother Ajaykumar, who was seated in a different seat, perished when the plane collided with a medical dormitory structure.

Really broke down.
Months later, Ramesh—who the interviewer said stuttered, fumbled, and sank into silence—spoke candidly about the effects the Air India jet accident had on him and his family. Along with their four-year-old kid, Divang, he and his spouse reside in Leicester.
He was quoted by Sky News as stating, "Talking about the plane is really painful." He grew mute when asked if he could talk about what transpired on board the doomed plane.
When Ramesh stood up from the hospital bed shortly after the plane crashed, he told DD India that there were bodies "all around" him.
He was in the hospital trying to find his brother.
"I simply consider my brother. He was everything to me," the paper cited him as saying.

Ramesh responded that the crash had left him feeling "very broke down" when asked how his life was doing at the moment. He also claimed that the rest of his family was experiencing the same thing.
Ramesh stays inside the house and accomplishes "nothing" while sitting by himself in his bedroom.
"I simply consider my brother. He was everything to me," the report said, quoting him.
"I'm not speaking to my son properly."
In addition to the unbearable psychological stress, Ramesh reported that he continues to experience bodily discomfort, including back, shoulder, and knee pain, as well as burns on his left arm. He said that his wife must assist him in taking a shower.

Ramesh said that Divang is "okay" but that he is "not talking properly" with his kid when the interviewer asked how his son has been after the catastrophe.
The interviewer enquired, "Does he come to your room?" He gave a headshake.
Leicester community leader Sanjiv Patel, together with his advisor and spokesperson Radd Seiger, provided support to Ramesh during the interview.
According to them, Air India has extended an offer to Ramesh for an interim payment of £21,500, which is approximately ₹21,91,731—a one-time payment made to a claimant prior to the conclusion of a personal injury case.

Not only money is needed: A plea to Air India
According to Seiger and Patel, he needs countless things to turn his life around, but "practical things" like financial support are the first step.
They also want Campbell Wilson, the CEO of Air India, to meet with him, his family, and the relatives of the other crash victims so they may "talk as humans" and share their sorrows.
Meanwhile, a representative for Air India admitted that they are aware of their responsibility to give Ramesh the assistance he needs.

"We have a strong sense of obligation to support Mr. Ramesh during what must have been an unthinkable time. The spokeswoman was described in the story as saying, "Caring for him—and in fact, all families impacted by the tragedy—remains our top priority."
"To show their sincere sympathies, senior leaders from within the Tata Group continue to visit families. We will keep contacting Mr. Ramesh's agents, and we sincerely hope they will accept our offer to set up such a meeting," the spokeswoman continued.
In addition to the 241 of the 242 passengers, 19 individuals were killed on the ground in the June 12 plane disaster.
