Astonishing video footage has emerged showing the British sole survivor of the Air India plane crash emerging from the wreckage on his phone while the plane erupts into flames behind him.

Vishwaskumar Ramesh, the only survivor of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, India, said he "thought I would die" as he recovers in hospital.

Viswashkumar Ramesh was on his way home to London when tragedy struck. In hospital interviews, he explains how he made his way out of seat 11A — which isn't typically the safest part of the plane.
