British passenger in seat 11A survives India plane crash, reports say (BBC) A man survived the Air India crash that killed at least 200 people, a police chief has told an Indian news agency. Ahmedabad Police Commissioner GS Malik told ANI there was one survivor who was in seat 11A on the London-bound Boeing 787-8 flight - a seat the flight manifest shared by authorities said was British national Vishwashkumar Ramesh. His cousin in Leicester, Ajay Valgi, told the BBC that Mr Ramesh called his family to say he was "fine" but he does not know the whereabouts of his brother, Ajay who was also on the plane. Video shared on social media showed Mr Ramesh walking towards an ambulance, with smoke billowing in the background. Indian media said Mr Ramesh shared his boarding pass, which showed his name and seat number. He has a wife and child. The BBC understands he was born in India, but has lived in the UK for many years. Commissioner Malik told ANI the survivor "has been in the hospital and is under treatment". He told the BBC that 204 bodies had been recovered, while 41 people were being treated for injuries. There were 169 Indian nationals, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese nationals and one Canadian on the London Gatwick Airport-bound flight, Air India said. The plane crashed into accommodation used by doctors less than a minute after take-off. ZNBC
