SOLE SURVIVORS
1985 George Lamson Junior

Found walking on road stunned.
1987 Cecelia Cichan sole survivor

Vietnam Airline crashed in the mountain
All thirty people died but one

Until villagers found her.
2009 Bahia Bokari sole survivor
She was just twelve year
Yemenia flight crashed near Comoros in Indian Ocean
One hundred fifty two died in the commotion
She had no option but to bravely cling to debris
Fishermen rescued her after thirteen hours.
2025 Ramesh Vishwas Kumar
Forty year old sole survivor
Air India flight crashed soon after take off
Two hundred forty two died in thirty seconds
He seated near emergency exit jumped on to mound of sand
People took him to ambulance injured and traumatized.
Plane crash is a very serious accident
How why it occurs leaves one stunned
Seat chance climate impact dynamics helps
One with resilience endurance truly survives
It is still considered a miracle
If one survives in such a debacle.
