INCREDIBLE new footage has emerged of the moment miracle Brit Vishwash Ramesh walked away from the Air India horror.

As an inferno engulfed the students’ hostel – where 38 people perished – the dad calmly emerged from the compound still clutching his phone.

He wandered into the street as flames leapt behind him and a huge black pall of smoke rose into the sky.

Locals were rushing around in panic calling the emergency services when they spotted him.

A man in a turquoise turban rushed over and guided him away from the blaze as dazed Vishwash, 40, cried out: “Plane fatyo che (the plane exploded).”

The first paramedic on the scene – out of a total fleet of 35 ambulances that was deployed to the crash site – led him to safety.

Satinder Singh Sandhu said: “The first person we spotted was the hostel guard who suffered primary burn injuries.

“Even as he was dispatched in an ambulance as the first patient from the site, we saw a man coming from out near the building.

“We started shouting at him as he was disorientated and tried to go back to the site, even as the fire and smoke billowed.

“We later got to know that his brother was on the flight and he was trying to go back to check on him.

“But the team on the spot escorted him and took him to Civil Hospital.

“His survival is unbelievable.”

The businessman was transported to the 1,200-bed Civil Hospital, located less than a mile from Ahmedabad airport. The ill-fated Air India flight had embarked from there before it crashed merely 33 seconds later.

His dad Ramesh has been at his bedside but has been too upset to talk since the tragedy in which he lost his youngest son Ajay.

Family friend Deepak Devjil said: “He is still grappling with the tragedy.”

The dad received a special Father’s Day gift yesterday when his four-year-old son sent his best wishes.

His young child and wife have traveled to India following the accident and the family is expected to reunite soon. However, Vishwash was able to speak with his son over the phone yesterday.

The story of Vishwash’s escape has astounded the world – and left experts speculating over how he cheated death.

His brother, Ajaykumar Ramesh, 35, was sitting five seats away and tragically lost his life in the crash.

Vishwash was sitting in seat 11A when the plane came down, which is right by the emergency exit.

The Brit, whose family is from Leicester, told local media he was able to push open the plane’s fuselage and get out before the plane blew up.

But it is currently unclear whether the opening Vishwash “slipped out” of was the emergency door or a rupture in the aircraft’s fuselage.

Aerospace and aviation professor Graham Braithwaite speculated the lucky Brit may have actually been flung out of the wreckage.

He said: “The aircraft was loaded with fuel and it crashed into a heavily populated area.

“I can only imagine that he was thrown from the wreckage, and that somehow as it crashed, what it hit managed to absorb some of the impact.”

He added: “Looking at the scene, I would imagine that the disruption to the aircraft would have been huge.

“If anyone could have managed to escape, it would likely have been through a gap in the fuselage. It’s hard to conclude from this incident that there is a specific seat you should always choose to sit in.”

Vishwash has relayed his memory of the moment the plane went down, and his account could hold the key to figuring out what went wrong.

One detail in particular has peaked the interest of crash investigators.

The Brit revealed that the cabin lights began flickering just before the jet sank through the air.

He said: “When the flight took off, within five to 10 seconds it felt like it was stuck in the air.

“Suddenly, the lights started flickering – green and white.

“The aircraft wasn’t gaining altitude and was just gliding before it suddenly slammed into a building and exploded.”

Vishwash’s flickering lights revelation came after a passenger who travelled on the plane the day before the crash claimed electrical parts such as the back-of-seat screens weren’t working.

Aviation experts have speculated that the reports of dodgy electrics could be a sign of a power failure, possibly explaining the crash.
