BANGKOK: 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 had been sitting in seat 11A - the very same seat number as Ruangsak’s when he survived a deadly crash nearly 27 years ago.

“Survivor of a plane crash in India. He sat in the same seat as me. 11A,” Ruangsak wrote in a Facebook post, describing the eerie coincidence that has now captivated the Internet.
