It’s a strange twist of fate. The seat 11A has become a symbol of survival — not once, but twice. The Air India tragedy in Ahmedabad and a Thai Airways flight nearly 27 years earlier both left a single survivor sitting in the very same seat.
This isn’t a wild conspiracy — it’s a documented coincidence. The two survivors walked away from horrific accidents unharmed, all thanks to their seats. It makes you wonder — is seat 11A a lucky spot?
Don’t rush to book 11A just yet, though. There’s no magic in a seat number. It’s pure coincidence — a wild twist of fate that makes for a dramatic story.
The Air India Crash: Why 11A Stood Out
The Air India tragedy struck in Ahmedabad when a flight fell shortly after takeoff. Among the wreckage, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh walked away unharmed — from seat 11A.
Prime Minister Modi rushed to the scene and met him in person. Vishwash described the moment the plane fell: “It felt like the plane got stuck and then suddenly fell.” His survival seemed nothing short of a miracle.

The Thai Airways Crash: 11A Again
27 years earlier, Thai singer Ruangsak James Loychusak was a young man on Thai Airways flight TG261 when it went down in a swamp, killing 101 people. He was sitting in seat 11A — and against all odds, he walked away alive.
“It felt strange when I heard about the Air India survivor sitting in the same seat as me. I got goosebumps immediately,” Ruangsak said in a report by Mail Online — reflecting on the moment.
So, what’s the moral here? Sometimes, the universe plays a wild, dramatic joke. There’s a strange irony in two people, years apart, sitting in the same seat and beating the odds.
The truth is: seats, flight numbers, and boarding passes are all supposed to be pure chance. But once in a while, something weird slips through, tying two stories together in a way we can’t ignore.
