When Thai actor-singer Ruangsak Loychusak saw news of the June 12 Air India plane crash, one detail sent chills down his spine. The sole survivor was in seat 11A – the same seat number as Mr Ruangsak’s when he survived a deadly crash nearly 27 years ago.

Vishwash Kumar Ramesh survived the 2025 Air India crash from seat 11A — the same seat Thai actor James Loychusak survived in during a 1998 crash.

Thai actor-singer Ruangsak Loychusak, a survivor of a 1998 plane crash, shared a chilling coincidence: the lone survivor of the recent Air India crash, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, was seated in the same seat 11A as Ruangsak during his own near-death experience 27 years ago.

All but one of the 242 people on board the London-bound flight died when it crashed into a residential area in Ahmedabad shortly after take-off.
