First off, you half to know a little bit about your plane. Know what kind of planes crash, and which ones have a good track records.

All right, now that you know a bit about your plane, let's get some tickets. It is a proven scientific fact, that the survival rate is much higher if you sit at the rear of the plane. Think about it, if you sit at the front of the plane, what part of the plane do you think makes contact with the ground first? Exactly. Just sit where you'll take less of the impact.

Sitting by the doors? Think it's a good way to get out? It sure is, if you wanna be sucked out of the cabin of a pressurized plane. BOOM, the door blows open. A little known fact is that a lot of deaths in planes are due to people being sucked out of the cabin at high altitudes. The survival rate of that is about non, let me explain: The reason you get sucked out of the cabin is because the pressure is different from the out side. Now you have to be pretty high up, but if you get sucked out at that height, I hope you packed a parachute. Not many planes can recover to a sudden loss of pressure like that since you probably can't just shut the door again.

A fire? The planes falling rapidly? It's ok right? The oxygen masks have dropped down. Noooo. Oxygen is a gas that calms you down, a little is ok, but when you put the mask on and inhale like a S.O.B, good luck staying conscious or trying to swim after you make a water landing. Oxygen calms you to the point where it's almost like sleeping gas. So if you wanna try to run away from the plane when it's on the ground after it's caught on fire, or you want to try to stay afloat after a water landing. DON'T BREATH TO MUCH, just enough so that you can breath through a fire.

So get out there and BE SAFE, now you know just a little more then the next person.
