A MIRACULOUS Brit survivor of the Air India disaster may have been saved by an emergency door that flew off as the plane crashed.
Unbelievable footage showed the moment the plane went down in Ahmedabad – as a mysterious object went spinning away seconds before the Boeing 787 Dreamliner blew up into a fireball.

Vishwash Ramesh, 40, managed to survive the catastrophic smash into a doctors’ hostel in Ahmedabad which killed over 265 people.
The plane was heading to London Gatwick when it crashed just moments after take-off.
Speculation is now growing that the sole survivor actually managed to escape thanks to the flying piece of fuselage captured on video.
Vishwash’s seat was 11A, right next to the emergency door, which is understood to have blew off when the plane struck the building and then exploded.
Investigators continue to analyse the footage and search for the mystery piece of debris as they try to find out what caused the horror crash.
Moments before the 241 passengers and crew on board the plane died, the pilot of Air India Flight AI171 issued a frantic mayday call saying the plane was “losing power”.
But just seconds before the plane blew up into a huge ball of flames, a large object can be seen flying away from the aircraft’s body.
Vishwash somehow managed to cheat death, but his brother who was on the same flight on seat 11J, is believed to have died.
