11A seaters: Ruangsak “James” Loychusak (left) and Vishwash Kumar Ramesh (right)
In a haunting twist of fate, Vishwaskumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, was seated in 11A, the very same seat that once saved another man’s life in a tragic crash decades ago.
On June 12, Air India’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed into a medical hostel near the airport, claiming over 270 innocent lives. Amid the wreckage, one man emerged alive, 40-year-old British-Indian Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who had been assigned seat 11A.
The eerie coincidence came to light when Ruangsak “James” Loychusak, a Thai singer and actor, recalled surviving a deadly plane crash in Thailand in 1998.
James, who is now 47, was travelling on the Thai Airways flight TG261 from Bangkok to Surat Thani James, when the plane crashed into a swamp, killing all 101 passengers, except him.
He was seated in 11A.
The singer shared the incident in a Facebook post and said, “Survivor of a plane crash in India. He sat in the same seat as me. 11A.”
