Air India Crash: Miracle Survivor Vishwas Kumar Ramesh Discharged, to Perform Brother's Last Rites
Air India crash survivor Viswas Kumar Ramesh has been discharged from Ahmedabad Civil Hospital and is heading home to perform the last rites of his younger brother, who perished in the April 12 crash. Ramesh, the only survivor among 242 passengers on the London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner, was flung out of the aircraft after it broke apart mid-takeoff. His seat, 11A, detached and landed near ground level, sparing him the deadly fireball. Ramesh, a British national of Indian origin, called his survival a miracle and expressed disbelief at how he made it out alive. A viral video earlier showed him emerging from the BJ Medical campus minutes after the crash. Ramesh is now returning home not to celebrate life, but to bid farewell to his brother. PM Modi and HM Amit Shah had visited him during his recovery. As he prepares for the cremation, his story remains a powerful symbol of resilience in the face of overwhelming tragedy.#AirIndiaCrash #ViswashkumarRamesh #Boeing787Crash #MiracleSurvivor #BJMedicalTragedy #IndiaUK #ModiAhmedabadVisit #AviationDisaster #CrashSurvivorStory #PlaneCrashIndia #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Fresh UK Crew To Arrive In Kerala With Spares To Inspect F-35B: Sources

A team from the British navy carrying spare parts will arrive in Kerala to inspect F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet, which has been stranded in Thiruvananthapuram for a week, sources have told NDTV. The advanced fifth-generation fighter, part of the UK's HMS Prince of Wales Carrier Strike Group, currently deployed in the Indo-Pacific, was returning to its base after completing joint maritime exercises with the Indian Navy when it made an emergency landing at the Thiruvananthapuram Airport. It was granted emergency clearance to land at the airport on June 14 after it reported critically low fuel levels. Authorities initially expected the aircraft to take off shortly after refuelling. However, a technical malfunction was soon detected, delaying its departure. A Royal Navy helicopter later airlifted a team of British engineers and a replacement pilot to the site. Despite several attempts over the next few days, the aircraft has remained unresponsive to take-off commands. A 30-plus team will arrive soon, said sources, adding that the travel details of the new team are still being worked out. The team will then make a decision whether to move the aircraft to a hangar or not after inspection, sources said. Earlier, the Royal Navy declined Air India's offer to allocate hangar space to park the aircraft. Sources said it is highly likely that concerns over "protected technologies" may have delayed any decision on the Royal Navy's part to take the F-35B inside a hangar. The F-35B is renowned for its short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) capabilities, allowing it to operate from aircraft carriers and short runways. Despite its cutting-edge design, the ongoing issue has left British officials perplexed.

British F-35B Fighter Jet Remains Stranded In Kerala A Week After Emergency Landing. What's Next

A British F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet remains stranded at Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram airport, one week after an emergency landing due to low fuel reserves. Part of the UK's Carrier Strike Group, the aircraft had just wrapped up joint Indo-Pacific naval drills with the Indian Navy when it requested urgent clearance to land. While it was successfully refueled by the Indian Air Force, a hydraulic system failure grounded the aircraft during its planned return. Despite a UK Navy maintenance team's efforts, the fifth-generation stealth jet remains non-operational. Now, Lockheed Martin engineers are being dispatched from the US to resolve the issue. If on-site repairs fail, transportation via military cargo plane is being considered. This rare international military incident on Indian soil has drawn global attention — especially involving such a highly classified and advanced jet system.#f35 #uknavy #kerala #f35strandedinkerala #ukfighterjetindia #britishf35kerala #stealthjetfail #defencenews2025 #lockheedmartin #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews Read More

IndiGo's Guwahati-Chennai flight makes emergency landing at Bengaluru airport after pilot's ‘Mayday' call: Report

An IndiGo flight from Guwahati to Chennai with 168 passengers on board made an emergency landing at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) after the captain gave a 'Mayday' call -- a distress call via radio communication - citing insufficient fuel in the plane. The incident comes on the heels of an Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad that claimed the lives of 241 passengers, leaving one survivor. The Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner had issued a Mayday call shortly before it crashed. The pilot of IndiGo flight 6E-6764 (A321), which departed from Guwahati at 4:40 PM, attempted to land in Chennai at around 7:45 PM. However, after the aircraft's landing gear touched the runway, the pilot opted for a 'go around' in what is known as a 'balked landing'. 'About 35 miles from Bengaluru airport, the captain made a 'Mayday' call,' TOI reported citing sources. Describing the situation, a passenger said, 'The sudden and steep climb had many passengers on the edge of their seats, some visibly frightened.' The individual chose to remain unnamed. Multiple sources at the airport and Air Traffic Control (ATC) confirmed to TOI that the pilot did not attempt a second landing in Chennai. Instead, he chose to divert the flight to Bengaluru. Sources at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) told TOI:, 'After getting the distress call, the ATC alerted the on-ground staff members who swung into action. Medical and fire services personnel were in place. The aircraft landed safely at 8.20pm.' Both the pilots involved have been taken off duty, although IndiGo has not confirmed this. The IndiGo plane, which was critically low on fuel, made a safe landing in Bengaluru.
