Ahmedabad Plane Crash: Air India flight AI-171 crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad to London on 12 June 2025. According to Ahmedabad police, 204 bodies have been recovered from the crash site so far, though it remains unclear if all were on the plane. The plane crashed in a residential area near the airport, hitting a doctors’ hostel where trainee doctors were having lunch. There were 242 people on board when the plane crashed.
Amidst the devastating plane crash in Ahmedabad, a miraculous story has emerged. Ramesh Vishwas Kumar, a passenger seated in 11A, has been found alive. He sustained serious injuries and was immediately admitted to a local hospital for treatment.
According to hospital sources, Ramesh's condition is serious but stable, and he is being kept in the ICU. A specialist team of doctors is attending to him. In this horrific tragedy, Ramesh's survival offers a beacon of hope.
Rescue workers at the scene say Ramesh was pulled out safely from the wreckage. Timely medical attention saved his life.
Meanwhile, Bhoomi Chauhan from Ahmedabad was scheduled to travel alone to London for a holiday on this flight, but she missed it by 'just 10 minutes'. Her statement is filled with emotion:
"My body and mind aren't working... I just thank God. Ganpati Bappa saved me."
Bhoomi explained that she was supposed to travel alone to London, but due to heavy traffic, she returned home. She initially considered missing the flight as bad luck, but within minutes realised this near-miss was a blessing.
