My heart goes to the families of the victims of Air India's Boeing 787-8 crash at Ahmedabad, India.
Only one survivor was rescued, surprisingly with minor injuries. But for the rest… the worst had to be expected given how huge the explosion was upon impact…
Air India confirmed that the passenger aircraft was carrying 169 Indian nationals, 53 British nationals, seven Portuguese, and one Canadian.

Viswashkumar Ramesh, a 40-year-old from the U.K. is reported to be the only survivor from this morning’s crash of Air India 171 in Ahmedabad. He was sitting in seat 11A at the time of the crash, amazingly suffering only minor injuries and waking up to search-and-rescuers. His brother, who was seated next to him is still missing, presumed dead by authorities in India.
