Air India Crash Survivor Shares Trauma

On June 12, 2025, Air India Flight 171 crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad, India. Viswashkumar Ramesh miraculously survived the crash, escaping from the wreckage. However, the disaster has had a devastating impact on his life.

Ramesh is grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), physical pain, and the loss of his brother. The family's fishing business, which Ramesh ran with his brother, has collapsed, leaving them with almost no income. He is also struggling to cope with the emotional trauma and has isolated himself from his family.

Air India has offered an interim compensation payment of £21,500, but his representatives argue that this amount is inadequate to cover his needs. They are calling for Air India to provide more support and for the UK government to reinstate his wife's Universal Credit.

The accident has highlighted the long-term impact of aviation disasters on survivors and their families. The lack of adequate support and compensation can exacerbate their suffering and hinder their recovery.

He was the sole survivor of the Air India Flight 171 crash and is now dealing with physical and emotional trauma.

He is facing PTSD, physical pain, financial difficulties, and the loss of his brother.
