Emergency worker recounts moment with Ramesh

According to a Daily Mail report, Sandhu said he saw the sole survivor looking dazed and confused while heading back to the fire.

"I saw a man in a white t-shirt walking back towards the fire. He appeared quite dazed and confused and I shouted: 'Stop. What are you doing? Don't go back in there. You'll die.'
"I was shouting as loud as I could and waving my arms pointing to the flames. There was a lot of panic and confusion but luckily for him, he heard me."

Sandhu noted that Ramesh had initially walked away from the crash.

"The man had initially walked away from the crash but how he did that I don't know. Fortunately, I saw him walking back towards it and couldn't believe that anybody would do such a thing. I was screaming at the top of my voice and begging him not to go back in there, telling him to get away and walk to me."

Upon hearing Sandhu's desperate pleas, Ramesh was said to have turned back and walked towards him, saying:

"My family member is in there, my brother, and he's burning to death. I have to save him."

Lone survivor says he feels guilty

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the sole survivor of the Air India aeroplane crash had shared why he will feel guilty for life, despite surviving the disaster.

The 40-year-old British national still takes the blame for his 35-year-old brother's death, wondering why he couldn't save him.

The businessman was returning home to his wife, Hiral, and their four-year-old son in Leicester, England, when his plane crashed shortly after takeoff. After his discharge from the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital after six days, he is now recovering in his family’s home village of Diu, on the east coast of India.
