He described how the lights on board began to flicker just seconds after the plane took off. He said via Reuters:

"I don't believe how I managed to survive. For some time, I thought I was also going to die.

"It was in front of my eyes that the air hostess and others died.

"The side of the plane I was in landed on the ground. I could see that there was space outside the aircraft, which led me to break my side of the door and escape."

A X user revealed that the sole survivor resides in Leicester, the East Midlands region of England.

He said Vishwash Kumar Ramesh had bought a ticket ahead of the 2025/26 EFL Championship. He wrote:

"Only survivor of Air India crash is a bloke from Leicester who has a LCFC season ticket. Great stuff #FoxesNeverQuit."
