Description: People are calling seat 11A a “miracle seat” because of what happened in the tragic Air India Flight 171 crash near Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025. Out of 242 people on board, only one passenger walked away alive — the person in seat 11A. That alone feels miraculous. Seat 11A was in an exit‑row near the front, right next to a strong part of the plane called the wing box. In this particular crash, the plane stayed nose‑up, and that section didn’t hit the ground as hard. Being close to the exit meant quick escape once the wreckage settled. In fact, experts like Ron Bartsch from AvLaw Aviation Consulting said, “Because the passenger was sitting adjacent to the emergency exit, this was obviously the safest seat on the day”. This isn’t the first time seat 11A has been linked to survival. About 27 years ago, the sole survivor of a Thai Airways crash also sat in 11A. That coincidence has sparked awe online: two unlikely escapes, same seat. Still, aviation experts stress that every crash is different, and no seat guarantees survival But in this moment, seat 11A feels like a small slice of luck — a spot where preparation, timing, and circumstance aligned in the face of tragedy.
