Air India faces fresh turbulence following last week’s fatal crash as additional safety inspections on its Dreamliner fleet lead to flight delays, cancellations and growing passenger anxiety.

There have been cases of a very small number of survivors in very serious accidents, but it is "very rare" for there to be only one, a professor told Newsweek.

The sole survivor from the Air India plane crash has said it is a “miracle” he survived but added he feels “terrible” he could not save his brother. An Air India plane heading from Ahmedabad Airport to London Gatwick crashed shortly after taking off last week on Thursday, June 12, killing 241 of the 242 passengers on board.
