What are your chances of surviving a plane crash
Only a few weeks before Wednesday's Turkish Airlines crash in Amsterdam, an aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in the Hudson River in New York. All of the passengers on board escaped the aircraft alive. While these two spectacular aircraft disasters are exemplary of the fact that the majority of accidents happen shortly after take off or shortly before landing, they also confirm statistics from the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) that estimate the chances of survival in the case of an emergency landing at around 95.7 percent.
These statistics raise the question of what a passenger can do to improve their chances of surviving a crash. According to results from two separate studies it depends on where you are seated in the plane. Indeed,[url=http://monclerjacketsformenssale.albirank.net/][b]Cheap Moncler Jackets Womens Sale Moncler Jackets Mens Outlet[/b][/url], results from different studies contradict each other. magazine Popular Mechanics came to the conclusion that the chances of survival for a passenger seated at the rear of the plane has around 40 percent higher than for those seated closer to the front. between the years of 1971 and 2007.
In contrast, scientists at the British University of Greenwich delivered results that the passengers with the highest chances of survival are those seated next to the emergency exit or in the rows in front of it or behind it. Passengers seated two to five rows away from the exits have a considerable chance of surviving. The more dangerous of the seating possibilites are those six or more seats away from the closest exit,[url=http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/[/b][/url], "here the chances of dying are prevailent,[url=http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers jackets[/b][/url]," according to the study.
But it is not only the distance from tehe emergency exits that has an impact on the chances of survival. The same study also delivered the results that passengers seated next to the aisles had 64-68 percent better chances of escaping the aircraft than their co-passengers with window seats.
In contrast with the American results, the Brits came to the conclusion that a seat at the front of the aircraft is statistically safer in the majority of cases - passengers seated in the bow have a 65 percent chance of survival, while a passenger seated in the rear has a 53 percent chance. The University of Greenwich study was based on 2000 cases of survivors using information from the civil avian travel authority CAA 105 .
Aside from the location of the passenger's seat,[url=http://parajumersoutletdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]http://parajumersoutletdeutschland.albirank.net/[/b][/url], the passenger's personal reaction to the crash and demeanour during the crash present more variables. avian travel authority FAA, a passenger should always count the number of rows between the closest emergency exit and his or her own seat on boarding the aircraft.
If there is smoke in the cabin following the crash landing,[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakers.webmium.com/][b]http://giuseppezanottisneakers.webmium.com/[/b][/url], a passenger should carefully feel his or her way to the emergency exit - best on all fours because the air is better closer to the floor. Passengers should also always follow the safety instructions of the cabin crew, read the safety information card and arn how to open their seat belt rapidly.
In the case of a crash landing, the seating position is also decisive for survival. The brace position should be adopted as soon as the cabin crew cry "Brace, Brace." Safety experts recommend that the passenger should press their forehead to the seat in front of them,[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakerssale.webmium.com/][b]http://giuseppezanottisneakerssale.webmium.com/[/b][/url], protect the head with the arms and position the legs as close as possible to the seat in front of them as possible. It is most important to hold the upper body as low to the ground as possible while maintaining this position.
According to McLean, a passenger should dress carefully for his or her flight with safety in mind and not aesthetic appeal. In the case of a cabin fire, long-sleeved, thick clothing offers better protection than a t-shirt and shorts. Sturdy shoes should be worn with socks and kept on throughout take-off and landing. High-heels or flipflops offer little protection against flying debris or splinters. Hand luggage should always be left on board.
However, with all of this concern for safety it is easy to forget that the chances of experiencing a plane crash are very small: Experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found evidence that someone would have to live for an average of 29,000 years before experiencing an accident.
