The crash is one of the deadliest in recent Indian aviation history. Among the 242 passengers and crew, only 40-year-old Ramesh lived to tell the tale.

Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and co-pilot Clive Kundar made contact—but couldn’t pull the aircraft back into the air. Seconds later, the jet was gone.

“When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I ran. There were pieces of plane everywhere. Someone dragged me to an ambulance,” Ramesh said.

“I unbuckled myself and crawled out using my leg. I saw two people die right next to me,” he told Indian state media DD News. “I thought I was going to die too.”

“I looked around the wreckage and realized—I was alive. I walked out of that rubble,” he said. “It’s like a miracle.”

As investigators scrambled to make sense of the malfunction, the story took a bizarre turn when Ruangsak came forward with his near-identical experience.

Ruangsak Loychusak, 47-year-old singer and actor, survived his own plane crash decades ago—while sitting in the exact same seat as the only survivor of the most recent Air India disaster.

Ruangsak was in seat 11A in 1998. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh was also in seat 11A when his plane dropped from the sky on June 12, killing 241 of 242 on board.

“The lone survivor of the plane crash in India was sitting in the same seat number as me—11A,” Ruangsak shared in a haunting press statement that’s since gone viral.

In 1998, Thai Airways Flight 261 plunged into a swamp during a landing attempt. Of 146 onboard, 101 died. Ruangsak was one of just 45 survivors.

The young performer had just launched his singing career when he boarded the ill-fated flight. Fame, it seemed, would come with a price.

“For ten years I couldn’t fly without panic,” Ruangsak said. “Even normal air circulation made me feel like I couldn’t breathe.”

“I didn’t talk to anyone. I stared out the window the whole time. If someone tried to close it, I’d stop them,” he recalled. “I needed to see what was coming.”

Ruangsak described sensory flashbacks so vivid, he could still taste the swamp water. “I kept everything bottled inside,” he admitted.

Only after learning about Ramesh’s survival did he feel compelled to open up. “I wanted to send condolences. And I wanted people to understand that trauma never leaves.”

“I’ve believed in fate ever since my own crash,” he admitted. “But this? This is something else. Same seat. Same kind of tragedy. And the same kind of survival.”

Social media has gone into overdrive. The connection between the two 11A survivors is now a viral phenomenon—and the internet can’t stop talking about it.

From TikTok to X, users are dissecting every element of the story. Some call it divine. Others call it mathematical madness. Everyone’s watching.

“Coincidences do happen in aviation,” one crash investigator told BBC. “But this case is certainly unusual. Statistically, it’s off the charts.”

He says he doesn’t seek attention. “I just wanted to offer sympathy—and maybe help someone feel a little less alone.”

And now the world is left wondering: What are the odds?

Doctors say he has several injuries but is in stable condition. His voice, though shaken, remains steady when recounting the horror.

“I’ve lived through something I can’t explain,” he said. “But I know I’ll never get on a plane again.”

Decades and continents apart, Ruangsak and Ramesh share an impossible truth: both survived air disasters while sitting in seat 11A.

As investigations continue, the question on everyone’s lips isn’t just how Ramesh lived—but how this strange, shared fate came to be.
