Air India crash survivor told me he’s okay – his escape is nothing short of a miracle
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh was conscious, half sitting on his bed in blue hospital scrubs when I walked into the ward.
The Briton had bruises on his hands and face, and was speaking to an attendant and some plain-clothed policemen.
I introduced myself to the man believed to be the only survivor of Thursday’s Air India crash and asked how he was.
He acknowledged me with a nod and said he was okay.
