"We were not informed by anyone of the death": Father of deceased killed in Ahmedabad plane crash

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], June 13 (ANI): Yasha Kamdar, her children Rudra Kamdar and Raksha Kamdar, and Yasha's mother-in-law were among the 241 unlucky passengers who died in the AI 171 plane crash that took place in Ahmedabad.
Manish Kamdar, father of Yasha Kamdar, has been in shock ever since he received the news of the death of his daughter, her son and her mother-in-law.
"We were not informed by anyone of the death, and we have not received any support from the airport facilities ...She was flying to London along with her mother-in-law and son... My son is giving the DNA samples here at the hospital..." Kamdar said, speaking to the media.
Meanwhile, the lone survivor of the crash, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who miraculously escaped death, shared his horrified experience.
In an interview with Doordarshan, he narrated the incident and said that his seat, 11-A, was situated in a part of the plane that had landed on the ground floor of the building, which it had crashed into.
Vishwash, who is a British Citizen of Indian origin, then removed his seat belt and came out of the aircraft, adding that his left hand was burned when fire erupted.
Sharing the horrific experience, he said that all he saw were the bodies of passengers and crew members.
Vishwash said, "The side where I was sitting wasn't on the hostel side, it was the ground floor of the hostel. I don't know about others, but the place I was sitting that portion landed on the ground floor, and there was some space. As soon as my door broke, I saw that there was some space, and then I tried to get out, and I got out. There was a building wall on the opposite side, and the plane had crashed completely on that side, so probably that is why nobody could get out from that side. There was space only where I was. I don't know how I survived. When the fire broke out, my left hand also got burned. Then I was admitted to the hospital. People here are treating me well. People are very nice here."
Vishwash's survival is no less than a miracle. For some time, he had thought that he would also die, but miraculously escaped death.
"PM Modi asked me about the incident. It all happened in front of my eyes. I couldn't even believe how I was saved. For instance, I thought I would also die. But when I opened my eyes, I was alive. I removed my seat belt and escaped from there. Bodies of uncle-aunties and air hostesses were there..."
Explaining about the incident, Vishwash said, "After takeoff, for 5-10 seconds, we felt like everything was stuck. Green and white lights were turned on the plane. I think the plane's speed was increased for takeoff, and it crashed into the hostel's building. It all happened in front of my eyes." (ANI)
