1 Passenger Survived the Air India Plane Crash. Has that Ever Happened Before?

A Boeing 787 aircraft with 242 passengers on board crashed shortly after departing from Ahmedabad on Thursday, resulting in 241 fatalities and one survivor.
The crash occurred as the aircraft, bound for London Gatwick, failed to gain altitude and slammed into a building in a densely populated area.
The sole survivor, 40-year-old British national Vishwash Kumar Ramesh seated in emergency exit row 11A, escaped by unbuckling and crawling through a damaged fuselage opening.
Experts noted the survival was rare and may have depended on chance, seat location, the role of cabin crew, and impact absorption by the wreckage and building.
The crash investigation involves U.S. and U.K. authorities, Air India has set up support centers, and the Tata Group pledged compensation to victims' families.
