The only survivor of June’s Air India crash in the Indian City of Ahmedabad told BBC News he feels like the "luckiest man" alive—but said the label feels cruel as he mourns his brother and struggles with the physical and mental wounds left by the tragedy.

Viswashkumar Ramesh, 39, was the only person to walk away from the wreckage of the London-bound Boeing 787 after it crashed moments after takeoff in Ahmedabad.

He told BBC News that while his escape felt like a "miracle," the loss of his younger brother and the trauma that followed have left him unable to return to normal life.

"I lost my brother as well. My brother is my backbone," he said. "Last few years, he was always supporting me."
