Doctor discusses Air India crash survivor's state

In a video shared on TikTok by @skynews, journalist Neville Lazarus disclosed that he spoke to the doctor who initially treated Kumar in the trauma ward.

The doctor's assessment provided necessary information about the sole survivor's health condition following the crash.

According to the doctor, Kumar suffered only minor physical injuries, with no apparent internal damage.

Despite being mentally shaken, he was deemed fit and underwent further tests, including MRI checkups, at the hospital.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) checks internal organs including detailed images of internal structures, including organs like the liver, kidneys, and spleen.

The journalist narrated:

"I did meet the doctor who first met him when he was brought to the trauma ward. He told me that he is mentally fit, just very shaken up. He just had a few scratches on his arms. He was walking alright. Limping a bit but he said there was no internal injury cause he had to do all the checks and he was then taken into for MRI checkups and various other checkups which the hospital did."

@Tik & Tok said:

"He just survived a fatal plane crash & also lost his brother so “doing ok” is probably pushing it!"

@angellah commented:

"Do you remember that house that remained untouched in the California fires while all his neighbours houses burnt to the ground? I know a lot of you don't believe in God but there will be more of these examples. Miracles are supposed to be unique, a wonder and yes I believe God saved him. God saved him to Glorify His Mighty Name."

@Ross said:

"The trauma this survivor will feel is incomprehensible. Terrible tragedy and God rest the souls of all those poor people."

@Catty Cat Cat Cat said:

"He sat next to the exit door? Maybe he freaked out, opened emergency door at during takeoff, especially at low altitudes, could lead to a significant loss of altitude due to several factors, including explosive decompression and the potential for the aircraft to become uncontrollable."

@ez added:

"It’s just so crazy to me how this can happen in just a second. Mind bloowing. That guy is so lucky, he’s special, actual miracle from God himself."

More updates on air crash survivor

Vishwash mentioned that he felt guilty for being alive after hundreds of people died from the India Air crash.

He disclosed to his friends he wished he were not alive. Narrating the ordeal of losing his brother, he said:

"...I lost my brother in front of my eyes. So now I am constantly thinking, ‘Why can't I save my brother?’ "It’s a miracle I survived. I am okay physically, but I feel terrible that I could not save Ajay."

Trauma may alter memory, says neuropsychologist

A neuropsychologist, Judith Ogunloye, says the lone survivor of the Air India crash may struggle to recall the full sequence of events due to the way the brain responds to trauma.

“When faced with life-threatening situations like a plane crash, the brain's 'fight or flight' response is activated, shifting its priority to survival,” Ogunloye told Legit.ng.
According to her, the survivor “might remember intense sensory details, such as the sounds before or after the crash or the smell of fuel burning. However, they may struggle to recall a clear sequence of events leading up to or following the crash.”

Legit.ng previously reported that Indian government was probing the Air India crash from multiple angles, including possible sabotage, as investigators analyse the data from the plane's black box and CCTV footage.
