A British man who was the only survivor of the Air India plane crash helped to lay his brother at the funeral in Western India.
Vishvashko’s brother Ramesh Aji was also in the ill -fated flight, but did not survive the tragedy.
Noticeably upset Ramesh was one of the carriers of the strip that brought his brother’s coffin in the city in the city, his hand and face are still covered with white bandages. He spent most of the last five days in the hospital.
The London Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed seconds after departing on Thursday from the Western Indian city of Ahmedabad. At least 270 people were killed, most of them passengers.
Mr. Ramesh’s mother walked with a coffin in the blue sarai along with other mourning when he kept him on the right shoulder.
Several people from the city – who lost 14 people as a result of the accident – went to the funeral, even when the rain packed the procession.
No one understood how Mr. Ramesh managed to survive. He even tried to return to the burning plane to seek his brother, said one of the first respondents at the BBC incident.
In the new video that appeared earlier this week, the ambulance driver Satinder Singh Singh is a man who saw Mr. Ramesh safe when he leaves the scene with a flame and thick smoke that is rooted into the air behind him.
Mr. Sandha, the head of the ambulance in Ahmedabad, says he does not imagine who he helps, or that Mr. He learned only later on the day in the news that the man was the only one who survived as a result of the accident.
The 40 -year -old Vishvashko Ramesh was in the seat 11a in flight. His brother was reportedly sitting in several places.
All other passengers and crew were killed, and nearly 30 people were killed on the ground after the plane struck and crashed into a doctor’s hostel.
But Mr. Ramesh miraculously survived, able to get out of the wreck through the hole in the fuselage.
The new video shows Mr. Sandho, who wears blue turban, approaches Mr. Ramesh and directs it to safety.
Mr. Sandhi said he had had lunch with his colleagues when he first noticed “a massive fire with a thick smoke that rose into the sky.”
“At first, we thought it could be a car accident or an explosion of a gas cylinder. We soon learned that it was a plane crash. I immediately instructed my team to bring an ambulance and rushed to the site.”
Speaking in front of the BBC Gujarati, Mr. Sandha said he was just trying to do his job. In his decades, he said he had encountered many difficult situations.
But what surprised him on that day was how Mr. Ramesh continued to try to return to the catastrophe.
“He did not imagine what he was doing. He continued to go and leaves the complex. We told him to stop and pulled him to the ambulance so he could get medical care,” Mr. Sandhi said.
“It was then that he told me that his relative was trapped and he wanted to go to save him. After that, we didn’t say a word.”
Later, Mr. Ramesh told India DD News that he was trying to go looking for Aji.
At the scene, Mr. Sandha noticed a guard who seemed to be injured as a result of the impact. His clothes were partially burned, and Mr. Sandhi for the first time helped him.
“I also saw a woman. She shouted with horror. Her son, who was driving tea, was killed as a result of the accident.”
Moments later, he saw Mr. Ramesh leaving the crash in a white shirt.
He had injuries on his face and burned in his arms and looked noticeable, said Mr. Sandha.
“At this point, we did not imagine who was a wounded man. I thought he was one of the doctors who lived in college. Later, when we saw this news, we realized that he survived alone as a result of the catastrophe.”
Chirag, Mr. Sandhi ambulance member, told PTI that Mr.
The first respondent treated him for injuries and sent him to the center of the injury nearby.
In his interview, DD News G -Ramesh said he could not believe he had left the debris alive.
“For a moment I felt that I would die too, but when I opened my eyes and looked around, I realized that I was alive.
“I still can’t believe I survived. I got out of rubble.”
The cause of the accident is not yet known. Officials are trying to decipher the vocal records and flights in the coat – in the aggregate, known as the black box – resumed from the debris to make what happened.
