Two plane crash survivors, Air India's sole survivor and a Thai singer, both miraculously survived separate plane crashes years apart while seated in the same 11A seat. Thai actor-singer Ruangsak Loychusak and Mr. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh both shared this eerie connection.

When Thai actor-singer Ruangsak Loychusak learned about the Air India plane crash on June 12, he was shocked to discover that the sole survivor was seated in 11A - the same seat he was in when he survived a plane crash nearly 27 years ago.

The Air India flight AI171 crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad, with only one survivor out of 242 passengers - Mr. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national. He was thrown from the aircraft during impact, sustaining multiple injuries but managing to escape and get help.

Similarly, back in December 1998, Mr. Ruangsak survived a plane crash when Thai Airways Flight TG261 crashed while trying to land in southern Thailand. Despite the trauma and survivor's guilt he carried, he has since lived a second life, refusing to fly for nearly a decade after the incident.

While the connection between the two survivors in seat 11A has sparked online interest, aviation experts caution against assuming there is a universally 'safest seat.' Each accident is unique, and survivability cannot be predicted based on seat location alone.

Experts emphasize that survival in plane crashes often depends on preparedness rather than luck. Following safety instructions, knowing your nearest exit, and acting promptly can significantly increase your chances of survival in an emergency.

While the story of two survivors linked by the same seat number is captivating, aviation safety experts stress that survival in plane crashes is determined by various factors beyond seat location.
