Mr Ramesh, a Briton whose brother died in the London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash, stated he lives with significant psychological scars and constant unanswered questions about the incident. A preliminary report from India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau indicated the plane’s fuel switches moved to the “cut-off” position immediately after take-off, stopping fuel supply to the engine. Despite receiving an interim payment of £21,500 from Air India, Mr Ramesh continues to face significant financial hardship and is unable to return to work due to the physical and psychological impact of the crash. Mr Ramesh is pursuing civil action, with his solicitors examining investigation details and expecting all parties to act appropriately, while Air India states it is committed to supporting every individual impacted by the tragedy.
