The sole survivor of the Air India disaster is afraid of planes: the family revealed the details.

According to The Sun: The sole survivor of the Air India tragedy is unlikely to return to the UK due to the fear of boarding a plane again, his family reported.

Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, became the only passenger to survive the crash that occurred in June, in which 260 people died.

His wife Hiral and four-year-old son have already flown to India to be with him during his recovery, but later returned to Britain.

The brother of Ramesh's wife noted that he is so traumatized that they do not expect him to return to London or his home in Leicester.

The man told the Mail on Sunday:

“I think he will stay there as it will be too frightening for him to board a plane again.”

Vishwash managed to escape from his seat 11A and flee when the Boeing 787 heading to Gatwick lost power and crashed into a medical hostel just seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad.

After that, he was taken to the hospital with facial cuts and chest injuries.

Unfortunately, his brother Ajay, 35, was one of 241 people who died on board the plane.

Among the victims were 52 British citizens. Another 19 people on the ground also died.

Relatives of passengers whose remains were mixed or 'lost' after the disaster expressed their outrage at the lack of support from the Indian authorities and the Foreign Office.

The families of 74-year-old Ashok Patel and his 71-year-old wife Shobhana, as well as 39-year-old Fiongala Greenlow-Mika and his 45-year-old husband Jamie, urged Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper to initiate an investigation in a letter.

They wrote:

“The silence and serious lack of communication force us to raise this issue. We feel abandoned.”

An initial report from the Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation revealed that the aircraft’s power switches had been turned off just seconds after takeoff, leading to a fuel shortage.

One of the pilots heard another ask him why he had turned off the fuel supply, but he denied having done so.

An American law firm claims that an electrical fault due to a water leak may have caused the crash, rather than pilot error.

Mike Andrews from Beasley Allen reported that just a few months before the disaster, the Federal Aviation Administration in the U.S. recorded incidents of water leaks on 787 aircraft due to improperly installed plumbing connectors and leaks in electronic compartments.

He also noted that Mr. Ramesh had reported flickering lights in the cockpit, which could indicate an electrical issue.

The families of the deceased have filed a lawsuit against Air India to compel the company to provide maintenance records and medical and training files of the pilots.

Boeing also reached out for comment.

This tragedy has caused a significant public outcry as the losses among passengers were substantial. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, as the sole survivor, now faces the horror that may prevent him from flying again. Relatives of victims of the disaster are also going through difficult times, particularly due to misunderstandings regarding body identification and the provision of support from the authorities.

The investigation into the circumstances of the crash is ongoing, and the families of the deceased are persistently demanding answers from the airline. Time will tell what steps will be taken to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
