Thai singer Ruangsak James Loychusak, who survived the 1998 Thai Airways crash, recently discovered a chilling coincidence. He was seated in 11A, the same seat as the lone survivor of the recent Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad.

Ruangsak was on flight TG261, which crashed into a swamp in Surat Thani, claiming the lives of 101 people. Only 45 passengers survived. When he learned that Ramesh Viswashkumar, the sole survivor of the Air India crash, was also in seat 11A, he was filled with goosebumps.

Recalling the trauma of the crash, Ruangsak shared that he developed a fear of flying for a decade. He avoided social interactions, felt anxious around clouds, and always kept the window open during flights for a sense of safety. The memories of the crash haunted him, including the sounds, smells, and taste of the swamp water.

While he no longer has his boarding pass, newspaper reports confirmed his seat number. Ruangsak expressed his condolences to the families who lost loved ones in the recent tragedy and emphasized that surviving the crash gave him a "second life".

On social media, Ruangsak's friends commented on his eerie connection with the Air India survivor. Some shared personal memories of visiting him in the hospital after the Thai Airways crash, while others speculated about hidden meanings behind the shared seat number.
