國際時事跟讀VIP Ep. L035: A Miracle in Seat 11A: The Sole Survivor of Air India's Devastating Crash

Highlights 主題摘要

• A single passenger survived when an Air India flight crashed in Ahmedabad, killing 241 others aboard the aircraft.
• Vishwash Kumar Ramesh escaped through a small opening after his section landed away from the main building impact.
• The 40-year-old businessman is recovering in hospital while investigators examine the black box for crash causes.

An Air India flight carrying 242 passengers crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad, India, creating what seemed like an impossible tragedy. Video footage emerged showing a bloodstained man walking away from the burning wreckage, defying all expectations. The sole survivor was identified as Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a 40-year-old British national of Indian origin. Of the 242 people aboard the London-bound Boeing 787, 241 died in the devastating crash. The aircraft slammed into a medical college building, killing additional people on the ground and shocking the aviation world.

一架載有242名乘客的印度航空班機在印度阿默達巴德起飛後不久墜毀，造成了看似不可能發生的悲劇。影片顯示一名滿身血跡的男子從燃燒的殘骸中走出，完全出乎所有人意料。唯一的生還者被確認為維什瓦什·庫馬爾·拉梅什，一位40歲的印度裔英國籍男士。在這架飛往倫敦的波音787客機上的242人中，有241人在這場毀滅性的空難中罹難。飛機撞入一棟醫學院建築物，造成地面人員死亡，震驚航空界。

Ramesh, a businessman from Leicester with a wife and four-year-old son, had been visiting family in India for several months. His brother Ajay was also on the flight, sitting in a different row, but tragically did not survive. According to his boarding pass, Ramesh occupied seat 11A in the emergency exit row, positioned directly in front of the plane's left wing. Aviation experts expressed amazement that someone in that location could survive such a catastrophic crash, as that area typically experiences the most severe impact forces during accidents.

拉梅什是來自萊斯特的商人，育有一名四歲兒子，他在印度探親數個月。他的兄弟阿杰也搭乘同班機，坐在不同排，但不幸罹難。根據登機證，拉梅什坐在緊急出口排的11A座位，正好位於飛機左翼正前方。航空專家對於有人能在該位置生還如此嚴重的空難感到驚訝，因為該區域在事故中通常承受最嚴重的撞擊力道。

Moments after takeoff, Ramesh noticed the aircraft's lights flickering green and white before the plane felt "stuck in the air." Within seconds, the aircraft slammed into the medical college building and exploded. Remarkably, the section where Ramesh sat landed near the ground without hitting the building directly. He managed to unbuckle himself and crawl through a small opening near his seat's door. His hand was burned by flames as he escaped, and he witnessed other passengers and crew members dying around him before reaching safety.

起飛後不久，拉梅什注意到機艙燈光閃爍綠色和白色，接著飛機感覺像「卡在空中」。幾秒內，飛機撞入醫學院建築並爆炸。值得注意的是，拉梅什所在的機身部分落在地面附近，沒有直接撞擊建築物。他設法解開安全帶，從座位旁的小開口爬出。逃生時他的手被火焰燒傷，在抵達安全處前，目睹周圍乘客和機組員死亡。

Currently recovering at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, Ramesh's condition is described as stable but he remains under strict medical observation. Doctors report he suffered multiple injuries but appears to be out of immediate danger. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited him personally, while British consular officials have offered support to his family. Investigators have recovered one black box from the crash site to determine the cause of this tragedy. Ramesh's survival has been called miraculous by officials, as he continues processing the trauma of losing his brother and witnessing such devastation.

拉梅什目前在阿默達巴德市立醫院康復，病況穩定但仍需嚴密觀察。醫師表示他受了多處外傷，但已脫離危險期。印度總理莫迪親自探視，英國領事館官員也向其家屬提供協助。調查人員已從現場尋獲一個黑盒子，以釐清事故原因。官員稱拉梅什的生還堪稱奇蹟，他仍在面對失去兄弟及目睹慘劇的創傷。
