Faith in fate or just peace of mind? Passengers try to book the same chair occupied by the only survivor in the recent Air India crash.
The demand for the armies 11a on years rose for India after it turned out that there was the only survivor of last week Air India Flight 171 accident, reported Times of India.
The seat, which is located next to the emergency east on some aircraft, has now taken over almost mythical condition, requiring passengers regardless of the safety data or seat configuration.
“It must be a place next to the emergency departure. I am willing to branch any special amount for this,” said Jitender Singh Bagga, an entrepreneur who is preparing for a flight to the United States and spoke to news runoff.
“If the seat is 11a next to the emergency door flight British Airways, which I intend to take … I want to be in it.”
The estate becomes symbolic
The renewed interest comes after Viswash Kumar Ramesh, a forty -year -old British national, left with minor injuries from the accident, which claimed 241 lives. Ramesh sat in 11A, adjacent to the emergency exit, and was seen in widely circulated shots that amazed from the debris while talking on the phone.
His miraculous escape caused a wave of superstition between passengers.
“I know that life and death are a matter of fate, but I still want to have my best shot,” said Rajesh Bhagnani, Kolkata residents, quoted.
“Nothing like a seat 11a if there is an emergency output next to him.”

The travel industry responds to the overvoltage
According to Anil Punjabi, a member of the National Committee of Federation of Travel Agency in India, some airmen even apply for a place of 11A regardless of where it is on the plane.
“That’s what he has to do with his thinking and belief in happiness. Leafers say it is for their peace,” explained Anjani Dhanuka, regional chairman of the Agens Association in India, in his notes.
“The seat number offers mental peace,” he added.
Ramesh, who was released from Ahmedabad Hospital on Wednesday, did not speak publicly from the accident, but his story still sounds in public imagination – and at the place of traveling.
For some passengers, the Seat 11A is more than just a place now – it is a symbol of hope, happiness and human instinct to do everything that is needed to survive.

The mystic around the seat 11A is the addition of a cool coincidence shared by Thai acting-singing Ruangsak “James” Loychusak, who revealed that he also sits in 11A when he survived the 1998 Thani Airways accident. Now 47, Ruangsak said he got Goosebumps when he learned that Viswash Kumar Ramesh – the only surviving Air India’s recent tragedy was also at the 11A headquarters.
