Two seemingly unrelated plane crashes, nearly 30 years apart, share a chilling connection: seat 11A. In June 1998, Thai singer James Ruangsak Loychusak survived a Thai Airways Airbus A310 crash that killed 101 people while seated in 11A. Fast‑forward to June 12, 2025: Air India Flight AI‑171, a Boeing 787‑8 Dreamliner bound for London, crashed seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad, killing 241 onboard and dozens on the ground. The sole survivor was 40‑year‑old British‑Indian businessman Viswash Kumar Ramesh also seated in 11A, adjacent to an emergency exit. (PC: Mint & Instagram)
