Nearly three decades ago, Thai singer Ruangsak Loychusak—famous in the 90s as “Iron Bones”—miraculously walked away from the wreckage of Thai Airways Flight TG261. The plane had crashed into a rubber plantation in 1998, killing 101 people. Ruangsak, who was seated in 11A, survived with injuries and carried a fear of flying for more than 10 years.
Now, almost 27 years later, the number 11A has resurfaced in a way that left him speechless.
This week, Ruangsak learned that Vishwash Kumar Ramesh—the only survivor of the June 12 Air India crash in Ahmedabad—was also sitting in seat 11A when the plane hit a college hostel building.
In a quiet and emotional post, Ruangsak said the coincidence gave him goosebumps. He called it a powerful reminder of how unpredictable and fragile life can be.
He offered his heartfelt condolences to the victims' families in Ahmedabad and reflected on how one seat—11A—has now come to represent survival against all odds in two separate tragedies.
