The survivor of the tragedy crash: a witness tells his drama

A heavy plane crash in India shaken the world on Tuesday. A Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed from Ahmedabad Airport shortly after the start and led to a tragic record of at least 241 deaths. Among the 230 passengers were 169 Indians, 53 British, 7 Portuguese and 1 Canadian, while 12 crew members were on board.

After the plane was around a minute in the air, the 40-year-old surviving Vishwash Kumar Ramesh noticed that something was wrong. He watched green and white lights and felt that the plane flee faster than usual. Ramesh was lucky in misfortune: Although he suffered burns and other injuries, he managed to escape from the crashing machine while seeing others in the wreck who had lost life.

Details of the crash

The plane was on the way to London and had 125,000 liters of fuel on board when it fell on a residential building in which numerous doctors and their families lived. According to reports, the pilot made an emergency call before the accident. Ramesh, who was in 11a near an emergency exit, saw a lifeless stewardess and older passengers before deciding to open and flee his seat belt. With a blood-smeared T-shirt he limp into an ambulance.

The emergency services work intensively at the scene of the accident. So far, 204 corpses have been recovered from the wreck and the surrounding area, while at least 40 people were injured. The police first reported about over 290 deaths, but the exact number is still being determined.

reactions and support

The tragedy has triggered worldwide reactions, including condolences from international leaders such as the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. He visited Ramesh in the hospital, where he was treated. A flight writer has already been found what will be helpful for the investigation.

In recent years, the number and severity of plane plumbers have dropped as a whole. According to a report, there were 233 fatalities worldwide in 2022 through plane places, which is a significant decline compared to earlier decades. Nevertheless, this incident is classified as one of the most severe aviation disasters in recent history, and the Boeing share fell by 6.8 percent.

The crash in Ahmedabad once again raises questions about security in air traffic, which, according to Statista, remains relatively low compared to other means of transport. Of the total of 870 plane plumbers in the United States from 1945 to 2022, no fatal accidents per million flights had in 2022, which indicates that modern security measures are effective, but such tragedies can still happen.
