Journalist's untold story about Air India survivor

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a journalist had shared an intriguing story about Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the Air India crash, that many people are not aware of.

According to the news reporter, the lone survivor had 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.

"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..." his statement partly read.
