That was a given after lost!!!
Bah, if I’m gonna crash and die I wanna ride fucking shotgun!
Good observation but after what …!
I wondered why I always sat in the back lol I normally sit right at the back on the end row, get off the plane 1st when it lands ;p
This is completely based on statistics of all plane crashes. Factor in the different reasons and it becomes irrelevant.
My father has been saying this for years! The safest place to sit on an airoplane is right at the back row in the middle seat. If ever there were survivors of an airplane crash, they usually are in those seats. Imagine, first class are the most dangerous..isn’t that ironic!! Your paying so much more to put your life at more risk.
Until the pilot over-corrects on landing & scrapes the tail end on the ground…that’s something else.
I agree with Bio..die in a blaze of glory!
so in the end, the rich assholes die first?
Mark,
You should see the checking counter staff face impression when I insist to get the last seat. They think Im a freak !
I was taught this in aviation class. Airline seats are designed to withstand vertical force. But in most accidents, horizontal force is what they are mostly subjected to (Planes don’t fall straight out of the sky usually). The seats end up ripping out of the floor and piling up at the front of the plane. I’m glad to see someone came up with the numbers.
