Here’s something I probably shouldn’t have read…an article on Popular Mechanics about how your choice of seat on an airplane determines the survival rate in a crash. Here’s the slightly disturbing diagram:
The quick and dirty version: sit in the back if you want to live, and don’t fly first class. It’s a deathtrap.
Of course, that assumes there are any survivors in the first place. PM only surveyed crashes were people lived, and there aren’t that many crashes in the first place (thank god).
Regardless, I probably shouldn’t have read that. I fly too much to read things like that.
Useful and cool post though. Thanks.
