British-Indian passenger Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, seated in 11A, an emergency exit window seat on Air India Flight 171 from Ahmedabad to London—miraculously survived the June 12 crash that killed 241 people on board and dozens on the ground . Experts say his survival was due less to the seat number and more to a rare set of factors: proximity to the reinforced wing section, a broken exit door, and unique crash dynamics that left his section intact . While studies suggest rear or wing-adjacent seats typically offer better odds, seating alone cannot guarantee safety. Preparedness—knowing exits and following crew instructions—is vital. (PC: NDTV)
