An aviation expert has shared his theory as to why a British passenger sitting in seat 11A was able to walk away from the wreckage after a horror plane crash in India.
Dubbed a ‘miracle man’ after footage showed him shrugging off locals to seek medical attention, 40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh has left everyone dumbfounded.
Speaking on GB News, aviation analyst Guy Leitch shared why he thinks seat 11A was different.
“The word miracle is the word that comes to mind”, he said.

“My take on it is, the seat 11A was thrown clear of the wreckage as it actually broke up.
“I think that’s the only way he survived the fireball. He had to have been away from it.

“That’s probably how he picked up his facial and chest injuries. The Boeing 787 had a different breakup structure in the way it actually broke up when it hit this building.
“That’s why we’re seeing so many ground fatalities added to the total.

“The rear of the aircraft is generally still considered the safest part of the aircraft, which is why the black boxes, which are actually orange, are often located there.”
Shown distressing images of the plane plummeting from the sky, Leitch responded: “It’s way too early to speculate as to why it went down.
“We’re hoping to see data from the recorder but some have suggested the flaps were retracted and they were slower than stalling speed.
“It’s possible the flaps were retracted early and the aircraft was not able to sustain its flying rate.

“These aircrafts are designed with a huge surplus of power. It’s had a massive impact on Boeing. The shares have melted by eight per cent.
“It’s useful to remember the Boeing Dreamliner has so far had an impeccable record so it won’t be easy to blame this on the actual aircraft.”
At least 200 were killed in the horror crash but it is suggested one British passenger survived.
Ahmedabad Police Commissioner GS Malik said he is under treatment in hospital.
Indian media reported him saying problems with the flight were evident shortly after take-off.
He is quoted as saying: “Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly.”
