Who were the British victims of the Air India plane crash?
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner struck a medical college as it crashed in a fireball on Thursday, killing the other 241 people onboard.
It is one of the deadliest plane crashes in terms of the number of British nationals killed, and the first involving a 787.
Ramesh said: “I can’t believe how I came out of it alive. For a moment, I felt like I was going to die too but when I opened my eyes and looked around, I realised I was alive. I still can’t believe how I survived.”
Ramesh told the broadcaster: “When the flight took off, within five to 10 seconds it felt like it was stuck in the air. Suddenly, the lights started flickering – green and white.
