How to Survive a Plane Crash: 10 Tips That Could Save Your Life
Synopsis by Voice.Direct
In a report analyzing airline accidents from 1983 to 2000, the National Transportation Safety Board found that the survival rate of crashes was 95.7%.
This is not what most of us believe in. Statistics don't lie anyway. It just shows how the skewed news we are fed with everyday influences our thinking and believes.
Combine those stats with the relative rarity of airplane accidents even happening in the first place (the average American's chances of being killed in an airplane crash are about 1 in 11 million), and you can see that flying is actually the safest form of transportation there is. Taking to the road on an average day is far more dangerous — it just doesn't feel like it because you have four (or two) wheels on the ground and a sense of control.
Now, even walking on the road seem more risky than taking plane! Hopefully Aircar becomes a reality soon. We all can fly safely then. Wait, that may not be case. With aircar there will be more traffic on the sky and that may just increase the accident rate too.
But it's important to take note of another interesting tidbit that the FAA and NTSB found in their research on plane crashes: 40% of fatalities that did occur happened in crashes that were survivable. Close to half of all airplane crash fatalities might have been prevented had passengers taken proper action.
This is where the conversation gets juicy. We can take precautions to avert the danger and reduce the risk further. Listen.
In today's article we're going to offer research-backed advice from Ben Sherwood's The Survivor's Clubon what you can do to make it out of a plane crash alive.
