Incredible new footage shows moment sole survivor of Air India plane crash escapes wreckage

The authorities are yet to determine what went wrong with the Boeing 787-8, which stands as one of the worst aviation disasters this century.

Ramesh was sat in seat 11a on the plane and is the only person to have survived the ordeal, which saw the jet go up in flames from a giant fireball when it plummeted into the residential area.

The father-of-one from Leicester recalled from his hospital bed that he managed to ‘unbuckle’ himself from his seat and used his leg to push through an opening where he crawled out to safety.

“When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital,” he added to local news media.

Now, the inexplicable moment Ramesh emerged from the wreckage has been revealed in new footage.

He could be seen walking away, dazed and limping, while plumes of thick black smoke and an inferno from the building and burning jet raged just meters behind him.
