Heartbreak as Last Words of British Man in Air India Crash Emerge Online

The tragic final moments of Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek, a British national who died in the Air India AI171 crash, have surfaced online, sparking a wave of emotional reactions across the globe. Fiongal, co-founder of the Wellness Foundry, was among more than 200 lives lost when the aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, India.

The ill-fated Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner was en route to Gatwick Airport in London when it slammed into a government hospital hostel compound, killing nearly all on board. Reports confirm that the flight carried 169 Indian nationals, 53 British nationals, one Canadian, and seven Portuguese passengers.

In a heart-wrenching video recorded just before boarding, Fiongal and his partner, Jamie Ray Meek, were seen smiling and expressing excitement about their return to London. In what turned out to be his final recorded words, Fiongal said calmly, “Going back happily, happily, happily calm.”

These haunting words, now widely circulated on social media, have left viewers deeply moved and mourning the loss of a man described as kind, vibrant, and full of life. Online tributes have poured in from around the world.

One user, @hilmynizar, wrote:

“It’s so sad to see this video. Lovely video of both. My deepest condolences to their families and loved ones. May their souls rest in peace. Deepest condolence from Sri Lanka.”

Another, @Forever._.curious, reflected on the unpredictability of life:

“There’s a calm to see him. At least he was happy before leaving life. This teaches us that life is so unpredictable. Better to remain happy than to hold grudges.”

@aadikhan5064 shared a message of solidarity:

“As a Pakistani, my heart goes out to all affected. This tragedy reminds us that above nationality, religion, or borders, humanity must come first. May the victims rest in peace.”

Meanwhile, in a rare moment of hope, a lone survivor has been identified. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a 40-year-old London resident, was seen in a viral video limping away from the crash site with visible injuries but alive. His miraculous escape has added a complex layer of emotion to an already devastating event.

Authorities have launched a thorough investigation into the crash. Early reports suggest the pilot may have made a critical error just moments before the disaster.

As tributes continue to flood social media, the final words of Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek remain etched in the hearts of many—a solemn reminder of life’s fragility and the bonds we share beyond borders.
