• Max Foster, a Cable News Network (CNN) reporter and journalist, has given an interesting backstory about Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the survivor of the Air India crash
• He claimed that the British man was originally not meant to be in seat 11A and shared what transpired before the flight took off
• The devastating crash claimed the lives of over 200 people, including 11 children and two newborn babies

A CNN reporter, Max Foster, has shared something intriguing about the lone survivor of the ill-fated Air India crash, identified as Vishwash Kumar Ramesh.

In a TikTok post, the journalist stated that the British national wasn't meant to be in seat 11A.

CNN reporter's update on crash survivor

According to Max, Ramesh switched to a window seat, which was seat 11A, before he got onto the flight.

He noted that when the aeroplane crashed, Ramesh got out of the seat, used the emergency exit, jumped off, and walked away.

Max added that aeroplane crash survivors are usually passengers who sit at the back, which has less impact in the event of a crash, and it is incredible that Ramesh survived despite sitting towards the front.

An amazed Max said aviation experts he had spoken to still can't explain how the man survived the crash. In his words:

"If you thought someone surviving the plane crash in India was incredible, then wait until you hear the backstory, because the passenger wasn't booked into the seat that saved him.

"At some point before he got onto the flight, he switched to a window seat - Seat 11A, which was crucially nearer the emergency exit.

"So the plane came down, and somehow he survived that seat. He got out of the seat, and left the emergency exit, jumped off the plane and walked away. He was the only survivor.

"What makes it even more incredible is that when there are survivors, the plane crashes, generally speaking, according to all the data, those survivors were sitting at the back of the plane where there was less impact. He was sitting towards the front of the plane, and none of the aviation experts I had spoken to can explain any of this.

"So, obviously, all the questions people are asking are around how he survived. Was it fate? Or was it something about him? Something about the seat? Divine intervention? The reality is we can't explain it. It is just incredible."

Aviation expert suggests possible pilot mistake

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that an aviation expert had explained the alleged mistake that caused the deadly Air India crash.

According to aviation expert Captain Steve, a crucial error during the flight's takeoff may have caused the devastating crash.

The co-pilot reportedly raised the wing flaps instead of retracting the landing gear, a simple yet catastrophic mistake.
