British plane crash survivor Viswashkumar Ramesh called his family to say he was 'fine' after fleeing the burning aircraft, his cousin has revealed.

Ajay Valgi, from Leicester, told how the family received a video call from a bloodied Vishwash, 38, after he walked away from the smoking wreckage of the Air India flight.

'They were sitting next to eachother, but we don't know what happened to [Ajaykumar].
