In a tragic incident that has shocked the nation and the world, a passenger plane crashed into a hospital hostel building in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, shortly after takeoff. The high-speed impact led to a massive explosion, fire, and thick smoke, leaving 265 people dead. Amid the devastation, one survivor—Ramesh Vishwas Kumar—miraculously escaped and was later visited by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the hospital.

“Everything Was Gone—How Did I Survive?”

Ramesh Vishwas, recovering in the hospital, shared his harrowing experience with news channels. He recalled that as the plane accelerated on the runway, something felt off.

*”Suddenly, everything froze for 5-10 seconds. There was silence, then bright green and white lights flashed. It felt like the pilot had pushed full throttle. The next moment, the plane smashed into the hostel building.”*

Miraculous Escape: “I Fell Through the Debris”

Vishwas revealed that his seat was on the side that crashed into the lower section of the building.

“The upper part of the plane caught fire, trapping many passengers. Somehow, my seat fell through, and I managed to crawl out through a broken door. If I had been even a few seconds late, I wouldn’t have made it.”

He described witnessing two flight attendants and an elderly couple engulfed in flames before escaping with severe burns on his left hand.
