The catastrophic Air India crash, claiming 241 lives and leaving Vishwashkumar Ramesh as the sole survivor – an outcome of staggering improbability – has ignited a maelstrom of online discourse surrounding the anomalous phenomenon of lone survivors in aviation disasters; Ramesh, ejected from the disintegrating fuselage, purportedly navigated, despite disorientation and polytrauma, towards emergency services, echoing historical precedents such as Cecelia Crocker's survival of the 1987 Northwest Airlines tragedy that extinguished 154 lives, including her entire family, after a collision with a light pole during take-off, alongside George Lamson Jr.'s escape from the 1985 Reno crash, Bahia Bakari's miraculous resilience following the 2009 Yemenia Airways catastrophe near the Comoros Islands, and Jim Polehinke's solitary survival of the 2006 Comair Flight 5191 crash in Lexington, Kentucky.
