According to India Today, Ramesh, 40, was the only person to make it out alive after the tragic accident. He described the terrifying moment when the plane crashed shortly after takeoff.

“Thirty seconds after take off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,” he told the Hindustan Times.

Sitting in seat 11A, near the front of the aircraft, Ramesh was surrounded by devastation. Despite the chaos, he managed to stand and flee.

“When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital,” he said.

Ramesh, a British citizen, had been in India visiting relatives. His survival has sparked widespread shock and intrigue, as investigations into the cause of the crash continue.

The year 2025 has witnessed several aviation accidents across the globe, prompting renewed discussions on air safety and regulatory measures.

While flying remains statistically one of the safest modes of transport, these incidents highlight the ever-present challenges faced by the aviation industry.

One of the most devastating crashes occurred in South Korea when Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 failed to land safely at Muan International Airport, resulting in the deaths of 175 passengers and four crew members.

Investigators suspect poor visibility and turbulence contributed to the disaster. In Honduras, Lanhsa Airlines Flight 018 plunged into the Caribbean Sea near Roatán, killing 13 of the 18 people on board. Authorities are looking into potential mechanical failures.

In the United States, a Bombardier CRJ700 collided with a military helicopter over the Potomac River, leading to the deaths of all 67 people involved. The incident has raised concerns about airspace management near major cities.
