If there is a plane crash what the chances of survival these days?

Question

I have been thinking asbout plane crashes and i was not sure what the poiont of seatbelts on planes are if you are not going to servive does any one know the ration ofd servivels to deaths on plane crashes ?

Answer 1

It would be misleading to lump all airplane crashes together. The more common crashes are survivable, undershoot the runway, overshoot the runway, things like that.
You really only read about the fatal ones and then because there are so many people involved. In our news media, the rule is that if it bleeds, it leads.
Seat belts make small accidents small and protect the passengers from being thrown around the cabin in turbulence.

Answer 2

Depends on the crash.. if it's a direct frontal crash at airspeed, most likely 100% of death and the passengers are going to die too cause the plane's traveling too quick. If it was a crash landing it'd be better off if the plane landed flat and on a suitable surface (like the Hudson River crash landing where everyone lived) but he had to be at an angle suitable to keep the plane intact.

Answer 3

OK here is the thing there are more car crashes then plane crashes but they are more survival however there a very few almost no plane crashes yet its harder to survive one but remember the Concorde was an old plane yet it only crashed once and it was not due to a falure onboard the plane

Answer 4

first off the seatbelts are incase of a sudden drop in altitude, it keeps you from cracking your skull on the roof. to survive your chances are slim. put your head between your knees and kiss your A$$ goodby

Answer 5

Its totally safe on an airplane. Ofcourse, hijack and bombing and liquid poison are extraneous circumstances...

Answer 6

Slim and none! LOL!
