Just One Survivor in the Air India Flight Crash ✈️💔

Unbelievable story, a British man 🇬🇧 is the sole survivor of the London-bound Air India flight carrying 242 people that crashed shortly after takeoff in the north-west Indian city of Ahmedabad 🏙.

Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who was in seat 11A of the flight, said the aircraft crashed almost immediately after takeoff. It is believed his brother was on the same flight 👨‍👦.

“Thirty seconds after takeoff there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,”

Ramesh told the Hindustan Times 📰 from a general ward in the civil hospital in Asarwa, Ahmedabad.

The 40-year-old British national told the newspaper he was returning to the UK, where he has lived for 20 years, after visiting family in India 🇮🇳.

Another brother, speaking outside the family home in Leicester, in the East Midlands, said Ramesh had “no idea” how he escaped 🙏.

Nayan Kumar Ramesh, 27, added:

“We were just shocked as soon as we heard it. I last spoke to him yesterday morning. We’re devastated, just devastated. He said, ‘I have no idea how I exited the plane’.”

A relative added:

“He’s doing well I think. It’s a big shock. I don’t have many words to describe the incident.”

Initial reports suggested all passengers onboard had died, but local police confirmed they had found one survivor of the flight, which plummeted into a medical college on Thursday, with videos showing a huge explosion and thick smoke in the immediate aftermath 🔥.

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which was carrying 53 British nationals among its more than 240 passengers, was engulfed in a huge fireball after crashing into the Meghani Nagar residential area minutes after taking off at 1.38pm local time (09:08 BST) on Thursday 🌍.

The Ahmedabad police commissioner, GS Malik, told the news agency ANI that there was one survivor who was in seat 11A. The flight manifest shared by authorities said the passenger in that seat was Ramesh. Malik told ANI the survivor “has been in the hospital and is under treatment” 🏥.

Witkoff and Kushner: Flight Canceled ✈️❌

Trump canceled the trip by his envoys Witkoff and Kushner to Islamabad due to the Iranian position in peace negotiations. 🇮🇷🤝🚫

The envoys had been expected to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi, in a trip designed to break a diplomatic stalemate and build momentum for a deal.

I see no point of sending them on an 18-hour flight in the current situation [of the negotiations]. It's too long. We can do it just as well by telephone. 📞

Asked whether it means he is going to resume the war, Trump said: "No. It doesn't mean that. We haven't thought about it yet." ⚔️🚫

"We have all the cards. We are not going to go there to sit around talking about nothing." 🃏

Trump later told reporters Saturday afternoon that the meeting with the Iranians wasn't going to happen until Tuesday, and that therefore he thought it was a waste of time to travel to Pakistan. 🕰

He also said a counteroffer Araghchi gave the Pakistanis on Saturday wasn't good enough. 📄🚫

"They gave us a paper that should have been better and interestingly the minute I cancelled it, within 10 minutes, we got a new paper that was much better (…) they offered a lot but not enough," Trump said. ⏱️📝

While Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran earlier this week, the diplomatic efforts haven't made any progress in recent days. 🕊⏸️

U.S. officials had said Iran's divided factions had a short window to come together on an offer. 🪟👥

"There is tremendous infighting and confusion within their 'leadership.' Nobody knows who is in charge, including them," Trump said in a Truth Social post Saturday after calling off the trip. 😵‍💫📢

Araghchi met on Saturday in Islamabad with Pakistan's prime minister, army commander, and foreign minister, who have been mediating between the sides. 🇵🇰🤝

But the talks ended with no significant progress. Araghchi left Islamabad without committing to meet Witkoff and Kushner if they traveled to Pakistan. 🚶‍♂️🚫

The Iranian foreign minister expressed in his meetings that Iran demands the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade as a pre-condition for talks. ⚓️🚫

About an hour after Araghchi left Islamabad, Trump decided to cancel the trip. ⏳❌

"Have yet to see if the U.S. is truly serious about diplomacy," Araghchi said in a post on X thanking the Pakistanis for their efforts. 🤔🇺🇸

What comes next isn't clear, though Trump allies called on the president to continue pressure on the Iranians — even if that means resuming military operations. 🤷‍♂️🔥
