“But when I opened my eyes, I realized I was alive and I tried to disconnect myself from the seat and escape the place where I could.

He traveled with his brother Ajaja, who was sitting in another queue, said his family members.

“The side of the plane I was on the ground and I saw there was a place outside the aircraft, so when my door broke, I tried to escape it and I did it,” Ramesh said.
