How in the hell is it possible that he not only survived he walked away

He was having intimate relation with a African woman at the time of impact...

...if you know what I mean :cool:

It means he refuses to be physically affected by reality. He reminds me of that russian soldier who headbutted a ukrainian drone, causing it to explode, and then walked away like nothing happened.
 
I have a good explanation.

He was never on the plane. He's doing this for fame, attention, and money
Most likely he saw the plane crash within a 1-mile radius of where he was outside. He arrived at the scene before the media or emergency response teams and concocted a story that he was on the plane.

Also a possibility he's a scammer and is planning to get a settlement out of this.
After all this is India, the scammer capital of the world.

*Edit*
Based on all the shattered debris from the plane, no human on earth would survive that.
That guy is a fucking con artist! Even his limp walk looks fake. Did you notice how his smart phone looks unscathed and in perfect condition?

Some youtube comments says he jumped out the door right before the crash. But that sound kinda unbelievable to me.

Don't know if its harder to believe that someone could act fast enough to jump out just before impact, or if someone could survive that kind of impact and then almost casually just walk out.

According to accounts though, he was still there when it struck and crawled out of the rubble.


“Thirty seconds after takeoff, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,” it quoted him as saying in an interview at the hospital where he was being treated....

CNN safety analyst and former US Federal Aviation Administration safety inspector David Soucie expressed surprise that someone seated at that part of the plane would survive such a crash.

That seat is “right where the spar of the wing would go under and it would be a solid place for the aircraft to hit the ground, but as far as survivability above it, that is incredibly surprising,” he told CNN.

It's math. The more flights, the more accidents, the higher the probability of a one in a billion occurrence happening. I doubt he got into crash position(head between knees and kiss your ass goodbye) or simply jumped in the air a split second before impact so he was floating during the crash. I think it's possible from just a fortuitous stacking of circumstances

What exactly would be believable here? That sounds more plausible than any of my theories involving him getting blown out the side of the plane, or falling through the floor when the plane started to break apart.

I don't want to say anything would be funny here, but I picture everyone else in the plane following protocol, buckling up, bowing their heads and bracing for impact, and this guy's all like "Fuck that!", and just starts going ham on the emergency exit, and somehow gets it open and escapes right before impact.
 
WWE should sign him. Just have the wrestlers hit him and pretend to hurt their hands. Have him as totally invincible. But then wrestlers could kind of trick him into doing dumb things and losing. Would be huge for a month

That's what I first thought too, since it crashed into a residential area and it wouldn't be too hard for someone to just walk up to some debris and claim they were on the plane, but I'm pretty sure they've confirmed his presence on the plane, and know where he was was sitting.

More or less agree.
Ive seen plenty of photos of plane crash aftermath, and it's heads / legs / arms/ half a person.....there's not many intact bodies, pretty horrific. People are literally smashed and dismembered.

THIS CRASH :
On the plus side the plane went down wings level and not at anywhere near 500mph. It had just taken off , probably 160 to 180knots (LESS if he had engine failure as a suspect and pitched it up) and I'd guess multiple enginr failures from multiple bird-strikes hence not enough power to keep airspeed up etc, pilot pitched nose up but not enough thrust so maybe stalled it and in any case lost what little altitude he had . Passenger was in row 11 near the front and by looks of the video the plane was wings level (GOOD) and prob hit tail first (survivor was near front).
I'd guess front of plane more or less flopped down after the tail has taken the brunt of the hit and the G-deceleration wasn't enough to kill him and he luckily avoided impacting anything too solid. Remarkable....but it IS clearly possible.
Also.....wings were more or less behind him (fuel tanks in wings) so fortunate to somehow avoid the fireball too.

I guess all about probabilities: in a crash like that it's 99% or more (often 100%) certain death for the humans aboard. But....241 out of 242 DID die so 99.6% of people died, this guy was just the sole very fortunate survivor. His brother was seated NEXT to him and he was killed.

My father was a military pilot and I've always had an interest in aviation etc

Yea if he wasn't on the plane that story would be quickly debunked.

Ummmm, I'm sure they checked his ID and compared it to the passenger list

The BBC interviewed him and his relatives, he said he has no idea how he got out of the plane.

www.bbc.co.uk

British man is only passenger to survive India plane crash

Vishwashkumar Ramesh is only passenger to survive the Air India crash that killed 241 people.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

He was in the emergency exit seat, so I would guess he would have been ejected at some point when it was breaking up. If he jumped out before it crashed, he'd still have to deal with 150-200mph of deceleration so I'd say that's got to be unlikely. The initial impact would have taken a big chunk off that number, and then if he was ejected with his row of seats, they could have taken more of the impact to make it survivable.

Since you said his brother was next to him it points to truthfulness of his story. You are much more knowledgeable on the crash then I am, and I hope I didn't come across as flippant about his survival. I was just thinking that in terms of probability a 0% chance is actually in reality 0.000000000~1% but to the normal person it's just zero. The chances of his survival is possibly similar to hitting the lottery multiple times, it happens.

Ivd heard the pilot or copilot sent a Mayday message before impact so THAT alone should give very good idea of the principal cause. One of two engine outs I'd say and likely TWO or more as planes should have enough power to still climb on takeoff after 1 engine_out.
So that's why I suspect multiple birdstrikes -- the most plausible reason for multiple engine failure on takeoff.
Passenger said he remembers a loud bang ---i think that was the engine(s) failing or the actual birdstrikes impact.
Chances of two engines failing independently for DIFFERENT reasons at same time are microscopically small.
 
Best video I've seen of the short flight and crash :


Crash video starts around t=15secs
Looks like the plane lost power and it YAWED slightly to starboard. I'd say lost right hand engine which would have meant it yawed right before pilot probably gave it a bootfull of left rudder.

Difficult to tell as the video is fairly low resolution.

Cannot see any birds on the video but they could have it JUST at takeoff. No obvious engine smoke or flame.
Total electrical failure? Total fuel failure?
