Absolutely remarkable that one person survived. There's probably going to be movies/documentaries made about that guy. I'd love to know the logistics of how he survived. He even came out relatively unscathed. I wonder if he was in a part of the plane that broke off or the seat was ejected from the plane and thus shielded him from the fireball.

He was sat near an emergency exit but I don't know what that use would be in a crash:

That appears to be the survivor. He is limping and seems to have injured his leg.

The source claims he jumped from the plane before it collided with buildings.

He did not survive by jumping out of the plane. He said the part of the plane he was in broke off and fell down the side of the building and he climbed out of a hole in the fuselage. Still remarkable but not as remarkable as jumping out of a crashing plane.

But Mr Ramesh, a businessman from Leicester who has a wife and four-year-old son, said the section he was sitting in landed near the ground and did not make contact with the building.

"When the door broke and I saw there was some space, I tried to get out of there and I did.

"No one could have got out from the opposite side, which was towards the wall, because it crashed there."

Ramesh told Indian broadcaster Doordarshan that he escaped through a small space near the door by his seat. He said his hand was burned by the flames as he fled from the aircraft.

“I don’t know how I managed to escape,” Ramesh said, adding that he saw other passengers die in front of him.

“For some time, I thought I was also going to die. But when I opened my eyes, I realised I was alive and I tried to unbuckle myself from the seat and escape from where I could,” he said.
