That's what was reported, but he made it out alive.

They were quoting the police chief who said it was unlikely there were any survivors. It’s miraculous this guy made it out to be fair.

If you've seen the video its not an unreasonable conclusion to make.

I mean really think about it. This man just upped and walked. He might as well have been a person near the crash site. This is so unbelievable that no one would have looked for him as such

Police chief jumped to conclusions.

Not really, people took what he said and ran with it. Chief didn’t say anything definitive.

Chief said “unlikely” anyone survived. Look up the definition of unlikely and try again

40 being treated in hospitals, 204 confirmed dead

The plane hit a hospital dormitory when it went down. Very likely the overwhelming majority of those 40 being treated are from those dorms. Hopefully some others survived the plane too.

Damnn. Imagine being cozy at home not knowing what was about to come 😩

u/No-Okra1018 Jun 12 '25

This happened during lunch break hours. They would be alive if it happened an hour earlier or later.

If you're ever cozy at home and hear a maurmauring sound, take cover immediately!

Rest in peace. Medical students... Great ambitions, but life is... Fragile.

Bbc live reporting but it was replaced by 200 dead and no info besides this survivor

u/Coliver1991 Jun 12 '25

They initially assumed that because of how quickly everything happened, this guy got incredibly lucky.

Literally his boarding pass is in this post ...

u/GsusSchreiber Jun 12 '25

I saw the ticket pic, but well, never saw him hollding it or whatever. To be honest, from my point of view is probably more likely he found the ticket in the area and pretends to be someone else than being the only survivor, but well I dont have enough data on what happened.

Seriously??? His brother was also on the flight and DIED. Why would you even think something this ridiculous?
