Two different survivors of deadly plane crashes decades apart say they both sat in seat 11A. Is there something that makes that seat safter than others? Not according to aviation and disaster medicine experts.

Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national, appears to be the only survivor of Air India flight 171, which crashed with 242 people aboard.

A shocking new video shows the moment the single survivor of the Air India plane crash escaped the wreckage. The clip, which emerged today, shows British-Indian man Vishwash Kumar Ramesh walking out of a huge billowing cloud of grey smoke where the crash had happened.

It seemed impossible, but shortly after news broke that an Air India flight had crashed in the city of Ahmedabad, video started circulating on social media showing a man walking from the scene in a bloodstained shirt.

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.
