Seat 11A: Two Survivors, One Strange Miracle ✈️
Some stories echo through time — whispered in quiet coincidences that make even the most skeptical observers pause. This is one of them.
In 1998, popular Thai actor and singer Ruangsak Loychusak survived the fatal crash of Thai Airways Flight TG261. The aircraft, a domestic flight from Bangkok to Surat Thani, went down in a swamp after multiple failed landing attempts during poor weather conditions. The tragedy claimed dozens of lives. But Ruangsak lived.
He was seated in seat 11A.
The emotional toll of that crash lingered for years. Ruangsak reportedly avoided flying for over a decade. “I was reborn that day,” he once said during a televised interview in Thailand. “I still remember the seat number: 11A. That number changed my life.”
Fast forward to 2025. A tragedy on the other side of the world — the devastating crash of Air India Flight AI171 — brings a hauntingly similar headline: one survivor. His name? Vishwash Kumar Ramesh.
His seat? 11A.
When Two Tragedies Share the Same Detail
When news of the Air India crash broke, Ruangsak took to social media to post a single line that sent chills across aviation circles:
“Survivor of a plane crash in India. He sat in the same seat as me. 11A.”
“My condolences to all those who lost.”
Is it just a coincidence? Or is there a deeper meaning in these eerie parallels?
The Seat 11A Phenomenon
Experts have cautioned against reading too much into seat numbers. Aircraft layouts vary, and what’s labeled “11A” on one plane may be positioned differently on another. However, across aviation history, some crash reports have indeed identified certain seats — especially overwing exits or rear sections — as zones of higher survival.
In fact, a study published by Popular Mechanics once suggested that passengers seated in the rear of an aircraft had a 40% higher survival rate. But is 11A a miracle seat? Or is it simply capturing the imagination because of two remarkable stories?

What Public Reactions Say
- @aviator_king: This gave me chills. Seat 11A might just be touched by fate.
- @devotedflyer: I can’t even explain this... It’s scary and beautiful at the same time.
- @NkechiWrites: Two men, same seat, same miracle — I believe the universe speaks. We just don’t always listen.
- @Lydia_M: I was a flight attendant for years. The big joke was that seat 11A was the safest seat. It’s a real thing.
- @Oladipupo: Airlines are going to start charging extra for seat 11A 🤣
- @Jude_Reports: What are the odds? I’m both amazed and unsettled.
- @FlySafeNaija: There’s no way this is just coincidence. This feels... spiritual.
- @MariamTheAviator: It’s a miracle they both survived sitting in 11A — but not every aircraft has the same configuration. The seat isn’t the miracle. The survival is.
Reflections from Aviation Historians
Flight disasters are, unfortunately, part of our modern history. But every now and then, a survivor emerges whose story transcends the tragedy. When patterns like these occur, they open up conversations about fate, probability, and the nature of survival itself.
Is there really a spiritual connection between survivors? Could shared details like a seat number be a cosmic nudge — or are we simply hardwired to notice coincidences and give them meaning?
Whether you believe in fate or randomness, these stories remind us of how fragile and interconnected life can be. What happened in 1998 and what happened in 2025 are separated by decades, continents, and aircraft models — but linked by one haunting detail: 11A.
