  They redact some part of the text on the ticket, but leave the scancode unredacted, which contains all of this text and more :P

“Thirty seconds after take off, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly,” said Ramesh, speaking to the Hindustan Times. He said he “impact injuries”, including bruising on his chest, eyes and feet but was otherwise lucid and conscious. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jun/12/air-india-flight-ai171-plane-crash-ahmedabad-india-latest-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-684ae1908f0814dfee5fea6e#block-684ae1908f0814dfee5fea6e https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jun/12/air-india...

Seat 11A. That's interesting, typically most survivors are located in the back, this one was in the front-center.

  The plane seemed to come down tail down so I guess that end would have absorbed the shock more. 11A is front left by the way.

    I meant the section of the plane was between front and center, behind business class.

  11A was next to the emergency exit. There was a comment on Reddit suggesting he actually bailed just before impact.

    That doesn't make sense. 100+mph into terrain is going to go way worse for you out of a seat than in it.

    You ~cannot~ don't want to "bail just before impact" A plane at takeoff is pressurized, and that pressure holds the doors closed, as well as the physical locks. You cannot open it. Don't believe random reddit comments. Average people know less than nothing about planes. Speaking of random people knowing less than nothing: I believed that at takeoff and landing, planes were slightly overpressurized to increase airframe rigidity. I think I got that impression from a very old pilot, so either it used to be true or it was never true and I'm just wrong. This person probably did not bail out of the plane in order to survive, but maybe you COULD open the doors at takeoff and landing, not that you want to. Additional edit: I've actually flown a few times while running the barometer on my phone for funzies. I might be able to find a log of data to confirm or deny my mistaken belief! It's fun to do because you can see the pressurization increase signalling that the pilots are preparing for descent even before they tell you!
