Travel Info If a plane crashes, don't most passengers die? Travel Tips One can argue this question several ways. Based on a review of accidents between 1978 and 1995 with at least one fatality to a passenger, there were a total of 164 fatal accidents involving large jet transports designed in western Europe or the U.S. In 68 cases, all passengers died and in 15 others between 90% and 100% of the passengers died. In 37 cases less than 10% of the passengers died. Among propeller driven aircraft, there were 178 events involving aircraft designed outside of the former Soviet Union and eastern Europe. Of those, all were killed in 108 cases, between 90% and 100% in six cases, and less than 10% in nine cases. Others It really depends on the crash. All the passengers survived on the Southwest flight that went off the runway last week, for example You have a lot of questions about airplane safety! Are you travelling any time soon? If so, you may want to get some medicine to help you sleep during the flight (Tylenol PM, etc.) or talk to your doctor to see if he/she can prescribe you anything. Not always and not usually all but sometimes. YES, most will die, if you are sitting in the wing area of the plane you are most likely to survive. This is becasue the wings have a stronger "ring" all the way around the plane, to help hold the wings on. |
