The only survivor of the Air India crash in June revealed how much of his suffering he has endured both mentally and physically since surviving the deadly accident in Ahmedabad.
In the interviews that were aired and published on Monday, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh claimed the months following the crash had been “very difficult” and that 241 passengers on the London-bound plane and 19 others were killed.
In what he has called “a miracle,” the British citizen who lives in Leicester, central England, lost his brother and survived the plane wreckage.

The 39-year-old told Britain’s domestic Press Association that “God gave me life but took all of my happiness and from my family.”
“It completely destroyed my family,” my family says. “It’s very difficult for me and my family.”
He added that Ajay, his brother, “was my strength” and “my everything.”
On June 12, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed into a medical college shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad, western India.
According to an initial report from India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), the jet’s engines were shut off moments before impact.
It did not draw any other conclusive conclusions or assign blame to the disaster.
The father of one of the pilots requested an independent investigation from India’s highest court last month, alleging that the official investigation had unfairly blamed the crew.
Ramesh was reluctant to discuss the crash in the interviews, which included a number of British broadcasters, saying it was still “very painful”.
“I constantly get flashbacks.” He told PA, “I just stay awake, I go to bed about three to four hours.
Since the tragedy, Ramesh has not been able to work or drive and has complained to the BBC that he has pain in his legs, shoulder, knee, and back.
He continued, “My wife helps me when I walk, not walking properly, slowly, slowly.”
