2 different survivors of the plane crash, they say they sat in the seat 11a – where do you actually sit?

Two different journeys are governed, and they are two different successes with one common thing: 11A seat.

Vishwashkumar Ramish, and The only survivor of India is crashed This killed 241 people on board and several others on the ground after the plane crashed minutes after taking off last Thursday, and he occupied newspapers all over the world.

Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner struck a hostel at the Faculty of Medicine in a ball of fire when it crashed into a residential area in the city of Ahmedabad in the northwest. Most of the bodies of those on board were burned beyond confession. But the police say that Ramish was sitting near the emergency director of the plane and managed to jump through him after the accident.

It was called by the UK mediaThe miracle of the seat 11A“After the climate pass to Ramish confirmed that this is the place where he was sitting on Gatwick Airport in London.

But the Thai singer and actor James Rangsak Luitsusak, who was one of the survivors of A. Fittle in 1998 Thai Airlines The plane crashes, called “strange coincidence”.

“Naji from a plane crash in India. He sat in the same seat in which I was held.

According to the flight safety networkAirbus A310 Loychusak crashed in 1998 during her approach to Surat Thani Airport, killing 101 people.

The plane crashed into heavy rains, after attempting the third landing at the airport, 500 km southwest of Bangkok. But 45 people survived, including Lingskak.

In another explanation, Loychusak wrote in Thailand that he had no ticket or a pass to the plane from the flight. As such, CBC News is unable to check its exact seat. But he claimed that he knew his seat number based on the online seating plans for his plane, which he shared online.

“It was a strange coincidence,” he said. India Telegraph online Monday. “This type that gives you the cry of terror.”

Just a coincidence?

After Loychusak shared his post, the story began in the virus, and some people who commented on the Internet wondered whether something about the 11A seat that makes it safer than others.

Not according to aviation and disaster experts, who tend to agree that all accidents are unique, and there are a number of random factors that can improve the chances of survival, so it comes to all these alignment variables.

“Every different accident, and it is impossible to predict a survival capacity based on the location of the seat,” Mitchell Fox, director of Flight Safety Foundation, a non -profit organization based in the United States, Previously told Reuters.

In addition, SEAT 11A is located in different spots on different aircraft, depending on the formation of the plane.

In the Ramish case, a seat 11A on 787-8 Dreamliner The first grade was in the economy, behind the emergency exit directly.

But in Airbus A310, according to the images on Seat teacher site A joint seating scheme was drawn on Facebook by Loychusak, 11A is a few rows before the emergency exit.

Stephen Wood, a co -professor of North Eston University in Boston and an expert in disaster medicine and EMS, said that sitting near an emergency exit can improve the chances of evacuation, especially in survival survival accidents that include fire or smoke.

However, in a high -energy effect collision, such as those in India, the ability to survive on the basis of the location of the seat becomes more complex. Wood explained that the exit row seats are often near parts reinforced in the plane’s structure. It is also adjacent to structural components such as the wing extension, which can be sites for great destruction.

“In this case, it may be the fact that the survivors sitting there were lucky, but it is not a guarantee of safety in most accidents,” said Wood, specifically talking about Ramish’s experience.

“So yes, it may help his seat, but it is possible that staying alive depends on much more.”

Each different accident

In short, it really does not matter where you sit because every accident is different, as experts say.

“All this depends on the dynamics of the accident,” said Daniel Kossicom, Air Safety Researcher at North Dakota University. Direct science Earlier this month.

A 2007 study of popular mechanics on accidents since 1971 found that passengers towards the back of the plane have better survival.

Some experts suggest that the pavilion section provides more stability (with recognition of the risk of violation Fuel tanks). A study conducted Time Magazine in 2015 The middle seats at the back of the plane ended the highest possibility of survival.

Sitting next to the exit door, as Ramish did, gives people an opportunity to be one of the first passengers to get out in the event of a decrease in the plane, although some exits do not work after the failure.

For example, Ramish said on the other side of the plane Created on the wall of the building in which it was destroyed. This could have prevented anyone who had survived the influence on the right side of the plane from escaping through this emergency exit.

“From a technical perspective, staying in these types of events is usually due to the convergence of rare but interpretable factors including the disintegration of the plane, the impact dynamics, the position of the survivors and its condition, and sometimes only seconds of timing,” Wood told CBC News.

“Seat numbers”

On Facebook Sunday, Loychusak pointed out that his story “is now going in many countries.”

“But what I really want to share exceed the seat numbers,” he said.

“I want to tell the world what this experience gave me – not only to survive, but a completely new perspective of life.”

The Thai Airways flight, which was crashed on December 11, 1998, was carrying 132 passengers and 14 crews. Hundreds of rescue workers fought through a muddy quagmire to withdraw charred bodies from the debris.

Loychusak survived, but it has serious injuries, including broken ribs, forklined trauma, and brain bleeding. He said to a movie for more than a year in recovery Telegraph. Although he was a well -known pop star, he said he had to get used to a different kind of lights from his bed in the hospital.

This included the families of the victims asking, “Why are you?” Tell Loychusak the news site.

“I had no answer after that. I still do not.”
