Footage emerged today shows emergency worker Satinder Singh Sandhu flailing his arms in the air in a desperate attempt to stop the Brit from walking back .

Dressed in a white t-shirt and trousers, Vishwas is seen eventually wandering over to the emergency worker as flames leapt behind him.

Satinder revealed how he pleaded with the dad not to , warning he would died if he did.

He recalled shouting as loud as he could to grab the dazed man’s attention, then “begging him not to go back in there.”;

Amid panicked crowds, the surviving Brit turned to Satinder and said: “My family member is in there, my brother and he’s burning to death. I have to save him.”;

According to the emergency worker, Vishwas was very disoriented, and limping but was still able to speak coherently.

He told the Mail Online: “There was also blood on his face, but he was able to speak. He told the paramedics that he was flying to when the plane fell and that he wanted to go back to save his family.”;

Locals appear rushing around in services when they spotted him.

The businessman was taken to the 1,200-bed Civil Hospital less than a mile from Ahmedabad airport where the doomed Airflight had taken off from before crashing just 33 seconds later.

His dad Ramesh has been at his bedside but has been too upset to talk since the tragedy in which he lost his youngest son Ajay.

Family friend Deepak Devjil said: “He is still grappling with the tragedy.”;

The dad received a specialgift yesterday when his four-year-old son sent his best wishes.

His youngster and wife have following the crash and the family will soon be reunited, but Vishwash spoke to his son on the phone yesterday.

The story of Vishwash’s escape has astounded the world – and leftover how he cheated death.

His brother, Ajaykumar Ramesh, 35, was sitting five seats away and tragically lost his life in the crash.

Vishwash was sitting in seat 11A when theplane came down, which is right by the emergency exit.

The Brit, whose family is from Leicester, told local media he was able to push open the plane’s fuselage and get out before the plane blew up.

But it is currently unclear whether the openingwas the emergency door or a rupture in the aircraft’s fuselage.

Aerospace and aviation professor Graham Braithwaite speculated the lucky Brit may have actually been flung out of the wreckage.

He said: “The aircraft was loaded with fuel and it crashed into a heavily populated area.

“I can only imagine that he was thrown from the wreckage, and that somehow as it crashed, what it hit managed to absorb some of the impact.”;

He added: “Looking at the scene, I would imagine that the disruption to the aircraft would have been huge.

“If anybody could have got out, then they probably could have just gone out in a gap in the fuselage – you’d struggle to infer from this, therefore, that is the seat you must always sit in.”;

Vishwash has relayedthe plane went down, and his account could hold the key to figuring out what went wrong.

One detail in particular has peaked the interest of crash investigators.

The Brit revealed that the cabin lights began flickering just before the jet sank through the air.

He said: “When the flight took off, within five to 10 seconds it felt like it was stuck in the air.

“Suddenly, the lights started flickering – green and white.

“The aircraft wasn’t gaining altitude and was just gliding before it suddenly slammed into a building and exploded.”;

Vishwash’s flickering lights revelation came after a passenger who travelled on the plane the day before the crash claimed electrical parts such as the back-of-seat screens weren’t working.

Aviation experts have speculated that the reports of dodgy electrics could be a sign of apowerfailure, possibly explaining the crash.
