A British man survived the Air India plane disaster which claimed the lives of at least 241 other people.
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, miraculously escaped the Gatwick-bound plane as it burst into flames in the Indian city of Ahmedabad.
Video showed him walking away from the site of the crash with smoke billowing in the background.
Separate footage shows him being treated in hospital for what appears to be minor injuries. He later met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi from his hospital bed.
Vishwash, who was in seat 11A on the doomed plane, said he lived in London 20 years with his wife and child.
He told the Hindustan Times: “Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly.
“When I got up, there were bodies all around me.
“I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me.
“Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital.”
He was confirmed by air India as the sole survivor from the 242 passengers and crew who were on the flight.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner was headed to London Gatwick with 232 passengers and 10 crew on board when it crashed seconds after take-off.
The passengers included 159 Indian nationals, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese, and a Canadian. Eleven of those on board were children.
Speaking outside the family home in Leicester, his brother, Nayan Kumar Ramesh, 27, said: "We were just shocked as soon as we heard it.
"He said I have no idea how I exited the plane."
Another of Mr Ramesh's relatives, Jay, said the survivor spoke to his father after the crash and asked after his brother Ajay, who is believed to have also been on the plane.
Jay told PA: "After the crash he spoke to his dad worrying about his brother saying 'Where's Ajay'?"
“He's got some injuries on his face. He was painted in blood. He was pretty much covered in blood, that's what his dad said.He added: "He's doing well I think. It's a big shock. I don't have many words to describe the incident."
A video of the incident circulating online shows the Air India aircraft flying over a residential area before crashing, creating a huge fireball followed by large plumes of black smoke.
Images of the aftermath of the crash showed parts of the plane embedded into a residential building as firefighters continued to tackle the smoke.
Pieces of the aircraft’s landing gear, fuselage and tail could all be seen protruding from the building.
Tata Group, the parent company of Air India, said it would provide 10 million rupees (around £86,000) to the families of those who were killed in the crash.
The company said it would also cover the medical costs of those injured and provide support in the “building up” of the medical college the plane crashed into.
Local media outlets reported the plane crashed on top of the canteen at B J Medical College.
Divyansh Singh, vice president of the Federation of All India Medical Association, told AP at least five medical students had been killed and around 50 were injured after the plane collided with the college.
