At least four separate flights encountered technical issues or emergencies within days of the Ahmedabad Air India crash, forcing sudden flight diversions and raising fresh concerns.

The Air India plane crash resulted in one of the deadliest aircraft crashes in the world, claiming the lives of 241 souls on board and many others on the ground, with only one survivor successfully walking out of the accident scene.

A shocking new video shows the moment the single survivor of the Air India plane crash escaped the wreckage. The clip, which emerged today, shows British-Indian man Vishwash Kumar Ramesh walking out of a huge billowing cloud of grey smoke where the crash had happened.

It was this very video — showing the Air India Dreamliner 787-8 struggling to stay in the air and crashing in a massive fireball — that has now become a crucial visual clue for investigators attempting to decode the disaster.

Captain Sumeet Sabharwal reportedly diverted his crashing Air India flight to avoid residential buildings, saving many lives. The crash resulted in 241 fatalities, but local residents credit him as a hero for his timely decision-making.

Three days after the crash, only 35 bodies had been handed over to relatives from an overall official death toll of 270.

In a concerning recurrence of technical troubles involving Boeing's Dreamliner fleet, a British Airways flight en route to Chennai was compelled to return to London after a mid-air issue, raising fresh questions about aircraft safety.
