The sole survivor of the Air India plane crash, which killed 241 people on board, has said he feels like the “luckiest man” alive, but is also suffering physically and mentally.

Viswashkumar Ramesh walked away from the wreckage of the London-bound flight in Ahmedabad in extraordinary scenes that amazed the world.

He said it was a “miracle” he escaped but told how he has lost everything, as his younger brother Ajay was a few seats away on the flight and died in the crash in June.

This is the first time the 39-year-old has spoken to the media since he has been back in the UK. Several news organizations were invited for an interview and a documentary crew was also filming in the room.

The BBC had detailed discussions with his advisers around his duty of care before the interview.
