On Father's Day, he came to reunite with one son, grieve for another
1 2 3 On Father's Day , Ramesh Bhaliya arrived in Ahmedabad not to receive warm hugs but to collect the mortal remains of his youngest son and meet his eldest son, who miraculously survived the AI 171 crash and is his only solace now. The London businessman had flown halfway across the world to Civil Hospital, where Ajaykumar lay in the morgue, while his eldest son Viswashkumar was recuperating in the ward. Viswash, who was seated on 11A of AI 171, is the sole survivor of the plane crash. Both the brothers are British citizens and had come down to Ahmedabad for business purposes. The weight of grief has rendered Ramesh speechless. "Rameshbhai is in no state to talk to anyone. He is still grappling with the tragedy," says Deepak Devji, the village sarpanch from Diu who travelled to Ahmedabad to support the grieving family. Ramesh has taken refuge in a local hotel nearby, while a close friend maintains watch over Viswash as he recuperates. "No other close family members have travelled with him to the city," Deepak adds. The brothers originally hail from Patelwadi area of Bucharwada village in Diu, having migrated to London several years ago to build their dreams. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo For 15 years, they had jointly operated a garment business in the UK and a boat business in Diu. Seat 11A became a lifeline for Viswash since it was near the emergency exit on the ill-fated AI 171. Just across the aisle, on 11J, sat his younger brother, Ajaykumar Ramesh. Within 30 seconds of take-off, fate intervened mercilessly, separating the brothers in ways nobody could have imagined. Viswash stumbled from the burning wreckage, his survival captured in heart-wrenching video shot by rescue workers and volunteers. It shows him staggering through the debris, bloodied and in shock, crying out: "Plane fatyo che! Plane fatyo che!" (The plane has exploded). Local residents and rescue workers rushed to his aid, pulling him into an ambulance as the magnitude of the disaster unfolded around them. The brothers and their uncle and aunt were among 15 residents from Diu's Bucharwada and Vanakbara villages aboard the flight.
