The fact that Vishwashkumar Ramesh was the only person to survive the Air India plane crash, which killed 241 people, has started many discussions on social media about how rare such events are. Reports say Ramesh was thrown from the plane and, even though he was confused and had many injuries, he was able to walk to an ambulance for help. There have been similar cases in the past where only one person survived such terrible accidents. For example, Cecelia Crocker was the only survivor of a 1987 crash that killed 154 people, including her family, when the plane's wing hit a light pole during takeoff. George Lamson Jr. also survived a 1985 crash in Reno, and Bahia Bakari survived a Yemenia Airways flight crash near the Comoro Islands in 2009. Additionally, Jim Polehinke was the only person to survive a 2006 Comair flight crash in Lexington, Kentucky.
