Ahmedabad travellers are increasingly choosing aircraft emergency seats following the June 12 Air India crash. Viswash Kumar Ramesh, the crash’s sole survivor, was seated in 11A—a window seat next to the emergency gate—when the disaster claimed 241 lives, including 12 airline staff. Local travel agents report passengers willingly paying extra for these positions. The premiums range from Rs 800-2,500 for domestic flights to Rs 2,500-10,000 for international journeys per seat.

Thursday’s aircraft crash killed not just all but one on board but also many on the ground. However, a few managed to cheat death with some luck and presence of mind. Amisha Hirpar, a 24-year-old pharmacist at GCRI, had gone for lunch at Atulyam Hostel, where resident doctors stay. “When the plane crashed into the campus, its fire reached other buildings too, including Atulyam-2 where I had gone to have lunch with my friends living there.

Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 38, is the only survivor of the London-bound aircraft crash that claimed 242 lives on Thursday afternoon in Ahmedabad. It was a blast about 30 seconds after the takeoff that alerted him and saved his life. “After the plane took off, in hardly 30 seconds it crashed. I still wonder what if I would have not jumped out on time; my body would have also been charred like others,” he said from his hospital bed.
