Boom... Then I Stood Frozen for 2 Minutes'

The Lucky Few Who Had a Narrow Escape Shudder as They Think Back to the Horrifying Crash That Shook the Nation on Thursday and How They Made It Out Alive

As the charred wreckage still smolders in Ahmedabad's Meghaninagar area, a miracle story has emerged from the ashes — Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the devastating plane crash that claimed hundreds of lives. Lying in a hospital bed at Civil Hospital, his voice trembles as he revisits those horrific moments, each memory etched in fire and fear.

Originally from Diu and now settled in the UK for over two decades, Vishwaskumar had returned to Gujarat just six months ago with his brother Ajay. "Everything happened in front of my eyes... I can't believe I'm alive," he told DD News, his eyes welling up. "For a moment, I was certain I was going to die."
