  • On June 12, 2025, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner operated by Air India crashed shortly after departing Ahmedabad on a flight to London, resulting in 241 fatalities and leaving only one passenger alive.
  • The lone survivor, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, was seated in 11A, the same seat number Thai singer Ruangsak Loychusak occupied when he survived a 1998 Thai Airways crash.
  • Ruangsak, who endured trauma and survivor’s guilt, described the 1998 crash into a swamp and recently expressed chills after learning of the Air India coincidence.
  • Aviation experts note each accident is unique and warn that survivability depends more on preparedness than seat location, despite public fascination with seat 11A as the ‘miracle seat.’
  • This extraordinary link between two survivors seated in 11A nearly 27 years apart highlights the unpredictable nature of air crash survival and sparks ongoing public and expert discussion.
