One month later, Air India Flight 171's only survivor battles trauma

He is now taking a psychiatrist’s help to find a way of coping with the traumatic experience, his cousin said. When the London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner came down seconds after the takeoff from the Ahmedabad airport, 40-year-old Vishwash, an Indian-origin British citizen, was the only passenger who walked away alive. His brother Ajay was among the 241 others onboard who perished along with 19 persons on the ground. The memories of the scenes of the crash site, his miraculous escape and his brother's death still hound Vishwash, said his cousin Sunny.
