Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the sole known survivor of Thursday's Air India crash, has garnered speculation over whether his seat is the safest in a plane

The London-bound Boeing 787 struck a medical college hostel in a residential area of Ahmedabad minutes after takeoff Thursday, killing 241 people on board and at least 29 on the ground. One passenger survived.

Sabharwal was the pilot in command of the ill-fated Ahmedabad-London Gatwick Air India plane that crashed last week, killing 241 out of 242 people on board, and 29 on the ground.

Investigators have now recovered the cockpit voice recorder from last week’s devastating Air India crash and will analyse the pilots’ final words to help determine what caused the disaster that killed more than 270 people.

People haven't still recovered from the horrific incident where 241 passengers, including an entire family of five were wiped out in seconds, and News channels are already flashing reports of two India-bound flights forced to return to their ports of departure due to technical issues.

The state government said samples of 250 victims, including persons on board as well as those killed on the ground, had been collected for identification.
