US EditionSole Air India crash survivor describes survival in deadly disaster as 'miracle'
- On June 12, a London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad Airport, leaving Vishwash Kumar Ramesh the sole survivor who described it as a miracle but said he lost his brother Ajay and his family has lost everything.
- Preliminary technical findings show fuel supply to an engine stopped when both fuel supply switches moved to the 'cut-off' position shortly after take-off, prompting questions about intent.
- He now suffers persistent flashbacks and severe sleep disruption, sleeping maybe three to four hours, and ongoing physical injuries prevent Mr Ramesh from working or driving after escaping by kicking open an emergency exit.
- Advisers Sanjiv Patel and Radd Seiger say Mr Ramesh has been treated like a 'name on a spreadsheet' despite Air India transferring 21,500 and offering meetings with Tata Group, while family requests a face-to-face with Campbell Wilson.
- With 169 Indian travellers and 52 British nationals among the dead, families face a long road of legal and care needs as legal representatives engaged by families warn of urgent psychiatric treatment and long-term care needs.
