In a world filled with coincidences, some stories leave us awestruck. One such story has emerged again after the tragic Ahmedabad plane crash, in which only one person survived — sitting in seat 11A. This bizarre coincidence is drawing parallels to an eerily similar event from 27 years ago, when Thai actor and singer Ruangsak Loychusak survived a plane crash — also seated in 11A. So, who is Ruangsak Loychusak, and why is he suddenly in the headlines? Let’s take a look.
A Brief About Ruangsak Loychusak
Ruangsak Loychusak, also known by his stage name James, is a popular singer and actor from Thailand. Born on March 9, 1978, in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Southern Thailand, he hails from a Thai-Chinese family. Ruangsak made his debut in the music industry in 1995 with the album Dai Wela… James under RS Promotion, which quickly rose to fame.
Besides his musical success, he is well-known for his appearances in Thai TV shows and dramas. He married Nacha Deng-Ngam on December 24, 2015, and the couple has a daughter named Andromeda, born on March 19, 2019.
Why is Ruangsak in the News Again?
The recent Ahmedabad plane crash, which left only one survivor sitting in seat 11A, has stirred memories of the Thai Airways TG261 crash in 1998, where Ruangsak was one of the few survivors. The eerie connection? He was also seated in 11A at the time.
This shocking coincidence has become a talking point on social media and news platforms, with many calling it nothing short of a miracle. It’s this twist of fate and the resurgence of his survival story that have thrust Ruangsak back into global attention.
What Happened in the 1998 Plane Crash?
On December 11, 1998, Thai Airways Flight TG261 crashed while attempting to land in Surat Thani, Thailand. The aircraft was carrying 146 people, out of which 101 lost their lives. Among the few who survived was Ruangsak Loychusak, who beat all odds — and his seat number was 11A.
Fast forward to 2025, and a similar pattern emerges in the Ahmedabad crash — a sole survivor, again in seat 11A. The uncanny resemblance has sparked renewed interest in Ruangsak’s survival tale and raised many questions about fate and miracles.
A Miracle Worth Remembering
Ruangsak’s story is more than just a coincidence; it’s a reminder of the strange and unpredictable ways life unfolds. In both tragedies — separated by 27 years — seat 11A became a symbol of survival.
While the survivors and victims of such incidents deserve respect and remembrance, the connection between the two events has reignited discussions around fate, faith, and fortune.
