It seemed impossible, but shortly after news broke that an Air India flight had crashed in the city of Ahmedabad, video started circulating on social media showing a man walking from the scene in a bloodstained shirt.

Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, seated in 11A, near the emergency exit, emerged as the sole survivor of the Ahmedabad plane crash.

Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national, appears to be the only survivor of Air India flight 171, which crashed with 242 people aboard.
