A 38-year-old man, Ramesh Vishwaskumar Bucharvada, is the sole known survivor of Air India Flight AI‑171 after he astonishingly escaped by jumping from his seat 11A during the Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s crash into a hostel near Ahmedabad airport on June 12, 2025 . Carrying 242 onboard, the aircraft plunged moments after taking off, killing over 204 and impacting the B.J. Medical College hostel, where five students also died . Ramesh, injured but breathing, was spotted walking in rescue footage—a rare glimmer of hope amid tragedy. Emergency teams continue operations, and AAIB has launched investigations.
