Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, from London, described seeing bodies all around him after the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner plunged into a suburb in Ahmedabad.
He revealed the aircraft started experiencing complications "30 seconds" into the flight before it ultimately plummeted into a residential area fairly close to the airport.
Thirty seconds after take-off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed.
'When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran
It all happened so quickly,” Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, who received “impact injuries” on his chest, eyes and feet, told the Hindustan Times.
There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital.'
Mr Ramesh, who lives in London with his wife and child, was travelling home from seeing family in India when the plane crashed, hitting buildings housing doctors in the city of Ahmedabad.
On the ground, police said they had found another survivor in the hospital struck by the plane. The confirmed death toll has climbed to 290 people, according to police.
