Air India Crash Survivor - Now He's the Life of the Party, Literally

Crash landing into the spotlight, this Air India survivor's got a tale that'll crash your heartstrings or just plain crash your patience. The net's buzzing like a hive of bees with a sugar rush, all about this one guy who's now more famous than the plane he was supposed to go down with.
Talk about your social capital; this guy's stock is soaring higher than the doomed flight itself. A veritable phoenix, rising from the ashes of 241 souls, he's the toast of the town, the hero of the hour, and the punchline in every bad taste joke.
But spare a thought for the other sole survivors, the forgotten few from disasters past, who've now got to share their limelight with this new Johnny-come-lately. They're left feeling like the last nacho at the party - everyone's had their fill, and they're just there, cold and soggy.
So, let's raise our glasses (or what's left of them) to this man, the accidental celebrity, the reluctant hero, and the sole survivor of a flight that will forever be remembered for taking off, but only landing in the tabloids. Here's to him, the man who beat the odds, but maybe not the press.
