Sole survivor of Air India plane crash was in seat 11A

THE Man who left of Air India airplane accident As the only survivor of the disaster was seated near an emergency exit on the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner While he took off from Ahmedabad, India, en route to London on Thursday. Its seat was 11 a.m.

The seat is on the left side of the plane facing the cockpit. The man, 40 -year -old British Viswash Kumar Rameshsaid the plane crashed on the ground floor of a building where medical students lived. Ramesh said he opened his eyes, realizing that he was alive and detached his seat belt before forcing himself to get out of the plane – escaping with a burned hand.

“I could see that there was space outside the plane, so when my door broke, I tried to escape in a little space and I did it,” he said in his hospital bed.

An infographic shows where Ramesh was seated. The image shows that the 11A seat was near the front of the plane, with an open space just opposite.

Ron Bartsch, president of the Avlaw Aviation Consulting, based in Sydney, told the Reuters news agency This 11a “seat” was obviously the safest seat “in this case because Ramesh was seated next to the emergency exit.

“But it’s not always 11A, it’s only 11a on this configuration of the Boeing 787,” said Bartsch.

Headquarters configurations vary depending on the plane, and many factors are at stake with regard to the survival of accidents.

“Each accident is different, and it is impossible to predict survival depending on the location of the seat,” said Mitchell Fox, director of the Flight Foundation for non-profit based in the United States, according to Reuters.

Ramesh was in shock when he moved away from the accident. He was then taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

Dr. Dhaval Gameti at Ahmedabad civilian hospital told the Associated Press that Ramesh “had been disoriented with multiple injuries on his entire body” but that he seemed to be “out of danger”.
