Here's the scoop:
The name of the sole survivor is Viswash Kumar Ramesh, age 38.
I've been reading some comments online and some assume that this survivor being of Indian descent is likely not a Christian. I haven't been able to find information about his faith other than him saying that he believes in God. Which leads me to ask can miracles happen even to those that aren't Christian?
For Discussion:
1. Would this count as a miracle?
2. Can miracles happen to non-Christians? If so, does that prove that other Gods exist?

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, with 242 people on board, which was headed for Gatwick Airport, south of the British capital, had only one survivor after it crashed onto a medical college hostel during lunch hour.
The sole survivor is a British national of Indian origin and is being treated in a hospital, the airline confirmed. The man told Indian media how he had heard a loud noise shortly after Flight AI171 took off.

Still holding his Air India boarding pass, Vishwash recounted, "When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital."
Vishwash sustained impact injuries to his chest, eyes, and feet. He is currently receiving treatment at Civil Hospital, Asarwa, in Ahmedabad.
Dr. Rajnish Patel, professor and head of surgery at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, told CNN that Vishwash's condition is "not very critical" and he is expected to be discharged in the next few days.
