Safest Place on a Plane!
What
is the best safest place to sit on a plane? The chances of having an
airplane crash are very remote and it is more risky to travel by car than to
use the commercial air transport service. Currently the air safety measures are very high and you can
have the confidence to travel calmly to any part of the world as these events
are so strange and isolated that surely we will never be involved in any
incident of these.
But
despite the safety and low chances of having an air crash, many
people ask themselves the question, " What is the safest place to sit
on the plane?” and “Which seat should I use to go on the flight
safer?”. About this we will deepen so that you have a new vision about the
probability of risk in each part of the plane.
What is the safest seat?
This
question and the previous ones were answered by watching a Discovery Channel
show about a plane crash in 2000 where a Singapore
Airlines plane
crashed in a typhoon that sadly claimed the lives of 83 people.
One
of the survivors is interviewed along with several experts and the place where
this passenger sat was vital to ensure his life and not have the same fate as
the other fatalities.
More
details about this accident will not be given, but we will focus on this
passenger named Francois Parent who by the type of accident and his seat
in the penultimate row (back) next to the corridor, served as an advantage to
survive, since it Would have been sitting in the middle of the plane, would
have suffered the same fate of all the passengers who died burned because of
the thousands of liters of gasoline that the aircraft carried.
Instead,
if he had gone in the front (first class) he would not have seen the cloud of
fire approaching him from behind and would have suffered serious wounds,
perhaps he might also have died.
But
because of the type of plane crash, Mr. Francois, sitting at the back of the
plane and along the aisle, was able to avoid the flames and move quickly to the
emergency exit.
Odds of surviving an
accident on the track
If
we talk about probabilities, according to some statistics we can divide the
plane into three parts: the seats in front, the middle seats and the seats in
the part Rear. The probability of surviving an accident is different in
each of these sections.
In
the front section the odds of surviving are 49%, the lowest of the three
sections; In the wing section seats (the middle part of the plane) the
probability of survival is 56%, 7% more than the front and as the rear of
the plane, it allows a survival probability of 69% to Because
sometimes the rear part is detached from the body of the airplane and is
further away from the wings, where much of the fuel is found.
It
should also be remembered that most air accidents occur at the time
of landing or takeoff. Many experts believe sitting in the five rows
closest to the exit increases the likelihood of being unharmed in an accident.
Of
course, we recommend not worrying and feeling afraid when traveling, but
certainly these safety tips to choose a good seat are very interesting and put
into practice will be no problem.
Final Note: We remember that we are only counting what is
explained in the program and the probabilities offered in it; each one
will decide in his / her discretion which part of the aircraft to choose to
travel. This case is about an accident in specific and that fulfills
specific conditions.
