I'm still trying to wrap my head around how Mr. Vishwashkumar Ramesh, in seat 11A, managed to literally walk away from the horrendous Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, India, when all 241 other passengers and crew died.
The way he tells it, an "opening" appeared in the fuselage after the plane crashed into a doctors' residence in the busy city, and "I managed to unbuckle myself, using my leg to push through that opening, and crawled out".
Well, that all sounds quite straightforward. But, hold on, the plane crashed into buildings, exploded and burst into flames! Everybody - and I mean everybody - else died! This guy literally walked away from the conflagration. "I walked out of the rubble", he deadpans. He was not even particularly badly injured, and was only kept in hospital for "observation" (they probably couldn't figure out how he survived either). He seemed more worried about his brother than anything else. (His brother was among the dead.)
If this was a movie, he would turn out to have superpowers, or be an alien or a shapeshifter or something. But Mr. Ramesh seems to be just a regular businessman living in Leicester, UK, of all places.
It's an extraordinary story, but I'm still waiting for some shock revelation to come out of it. I don't think Mr. Ramesh is who he says he is...
