Dr Rajnish Patel, professor and head of Surgery at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, has said that he believes that the sole survivor of the Air India plane crash, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, must have suffered post-traumatic amnesia.

The medic, who spoke with CNN, recounted how Ramesh was brought to the Ahmedabad hospital after he was discovered alive.

According to Dr Rajnish, Ramesh doesn't actually remember the series of events that occurred leading up to the crash.

He said Ramesh only stated that there was some kind of noise, and in a moment, he was out and was surrounded by dead bodies. In the doctor's words:

"...He doesn't actually remember. There is a term called post-traumatic amnesia. He must have suffered that. Like you know, he is not able to give me the complete picture of the event that happened sequentially.

"What he says is that at one moment there was a lot, there was some kind of noise and the other moment he was out, and then when he got up, he was all surrounded by dead bodies and all.

"So, this is what his description is. While you see him limping, it was immediately after the injury. So, for a moment, before he could reconnect and stabilise himself, he was jumping or limping, otherwise, he has no bone or injuries. No limp injuries. Just a little bit on the left side..."

11Alive shared the video of Rajnish's remark, and it got internet users talking. Legit.ng reported that Ramesh was discharged from the hospital after six days.

"According to all I have gathered from the survivor’s conversations is ; firstly , after the crash , the plane’s part where he was sitting was broken away from the rest of the plane and fell on the ground . Then he lost consciousness ( doctors said the condition was called amnesia). He cannot remember anything happened during his amnesia condition. After that, he regained consciousness.

"Then he saw two flight attendants falling down , he found his seat was also broken and dislodged . He looked to the other end where his brother was sitting but instead he saw a wall of a building. There was an opening near him that was made by the rupture and the emergency door too was broke open ajar . He quickly got out through it and then only he heard the explosion . At that time he was already safely away from it with only resulting minor injuries and a burn on his arm from the massive fireball eruption.

"This combination is a TRUE MIRACLE. His guardian angels have looked after him well.🙏💐"
