AI 171 tragedy: How seat 11A proved to be lucky for Air India crash survivor Viswashkumar Ramesh
Viswashkumar Ramesh miraculously survived the AI 171 Dreamliner crash near Ahmedabad, India's deadliest single-aircraft disaster. He recalls a violent jolt and the pilot's distress call before leaping from the disintegrating plane. NEW DELHI: Viswashkumar Ramesh doesn't remember much, just a loud noise, the pilot's voice shouting 'Mayday', and a rush of heat as the aircraft tore apart after crash. He jumped without thinking. When he opened his eyes, he was outside, covered in blood, shouting for help. His brother, seated across the aisle in 11J, didn't make it. Seat 11A turned out to be his lifeline on AI 171, the London-bound Dreamliner that crashed minutes after takeoff from Ahmedabad on Thursday, killing nearly everyone on board. Viswash, a 40-year-old UK-based businessman from Diu, is the only confirmed survivor. The British national now lies in bed 11 of ward B7 at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital — dazed, bruised, and asking the one question no one has answered: 'Where is my brother?' From behind a sealed ward, guarded by Gujarat ATS and the crime branch, Viswash's story is a haunting thread of survival from India's deadliest single-aircraft crash. He recalls only fragments: a violent jolt, the pilot's trembling voice, and a blind leap through smoke and wreckage. 'Nothing more,' he told his cousin.

50 Cent to discuss Sean 'Diddy' Combs' pardon with US President Donald Trump: 'I would make sure he is aware...'
Rapper 50 Cent has revealed plans to speak directly with US President Donald Trump regarding the possibility of a presidential pardon for music mogul Sean Diddy Combs, currently facing serious charges in a sex trafficking case. The In Da Club rapper took to social media over the weekend to share his intentions following Trump's recent remarks in a televised interview, where he said that he would "consider" pardoning Diddy. 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, took to his social media handle to post, "Donald doesn't take well to disrespect, and doesn't forget who chooses to go against him. While working tirelessly to make America great again there is no room for distraction. He would consider pardoning anyone who was being mistreated not Puffy Daddy." He went on to add, 'He said some really bad things about Trump, it's not ok. I'm gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy.' The statement quickly circulated online, with some outlets interpreting his remarks as a call for Trump to block a possible pardon for Diddy. However, 50 cent clarified that he simply wants to express his personal views and "inform" the president. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Varför husägare bör installera solpaneler senast i januri '25 Greenmatch Ta reda på mer Undo Reposting a headline of an article claiming he 'plans to nuke' the musician's chances of getting pardoned, the rapper retorted, 'I didn't say I would nuke anything, I simply said I would make sure Trump is aware.

Despite the charges, Trump hinted he may be open to pardoning Diddy, depending on how the case unfolds. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office this week, 'Nobody's asked, but I know people are thinking about it.' The president added: 'First of all, I'd look at what's happening, and I haven't been watching it too closely…I haven't seen him. I haven't spoken to him in years.' Besides taking shots at Diddy, 50 Cent has also been taking to his handle to troll rapper Jay-Z for his association with the musician.
