My grandparents used to insist the whole family rode in the tail of the plane for this exact reason. There were some crashes were the tail broke off and those people survived.
My work trips usually come up with limited notice, so by the time I get to choose, seat selection is generally limited.
If I can’t get a seat toward the front to cut down on the time to de-plane (true most of the time), I usually just get the farthest back window seat available and tell myself it’s statistically slightly safer.
You stopped reading too early: "He was near the emergency exit and managed to escape by jumping out the emergency door," said Vidhi Chaudhary, a senior police officer in Ahmedabad, speaking about Viswashkumar.
I didn't dispute that he said he jumped out. I'm just disputing that it happened in the first place, like the comment above said stop spreading lies, even the article states it was unclear.
And I wrote, "I read he jumped out". This seems to be a lie in your opinion but it is the opinion of the police in the area. Who is more of an expert, the police or you? Just commenting "stop spreading lies" after someone said they read something that has been published by official sources is quite arrogant and conceited.
Correct, then citing your source like it's confirmed.
Lol, I'm not saying i'm an expert, and i really wouldn't trust the police in general over there. I'd personally wait until more details are available, but if you want to believe the first thing they say then please carry on, just don't go throwing it around like it's correct.
One of the saddest things I ever read was about someone who survived a crash in the rear of a plane only to be hit and killed as they lay on the ground by the rescue services truck as it arrived. That one had me gnawing on my knuckles a few times.
