Sad update on the Air India lone survivor, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh.
The sole survivor of the Air India plane crash that claimed 260 lives is reportedly living a life of torment since the crash. 
Flight AI171 was en route to Gatwick Airport in London on June 12 when it crashed into a hostel housing medical staff from the Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Medical College, less than a minute after takeoff.
The aircraft climbed to just 625 feet before it lost location data 50 seconds after takeoff.
British national Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, was seated in 11A when the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner plummeted just seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad, killing 260 people, including 19 on the ground.
He walked away with facial cuts and chest injuries, but the emotional toll is ongoing.
“He can’t sleep at night,” his nephew, Krunal Keshave, told The Sunday Times. “He sleeps but doesn’t sleep properly. When he sleeps, he dreams he is on the flight. He remembers seeing everyone die in front of his eyes.”
Ramesh, who now remains in India with his wife and four-year-old son, is reportedly suffering from survivor’s guilt and intense grief over the loss of his younger brother, Ajay, 35, who perished in the crash.
The two siblings had run a fishing business together and were preparing to return to their UK homes after the season ended.
“He sees him (Ajay) everywhere,” said Keshave.
“He speaks but he doesn’t speak about the crash. His wife and his son… are there with him, supporting him. He is trying to have a normal life, but he is not going out too much. He is spending time at home with the family.”
Another relative added: “He feels guilty that he is the only one to have lived when everybody else, including his brother, died. It’s a lot to live with.”
Ramesh had escaped through the emergency exit and was hailed as the “miracle man” and “God’s child” by locals. Reflecting on the horror, he said: “I don’t know how I came out of it alive. I saw people dying in front of my eyes.”
I thought you will say he has died!!!!!!
