Safest Place On A Plane

Safest Place to Be in a Crash

Many airlines or airline manufacturers will say that one seat is as safe as another on planes or that there is just no way to really know which seats may be safest. But such comments don’t seem to be based on hard data about actual airline accidents.

According to a study done by Popular Mechanics, the farther back you sit, the better your odds of survival. "Passengers near the tail of a plane are about 40 percent more likely to survive a crash than those in the first few rows up front," the study said.

To reach its conclusions, the Popular Mechanics study examined every commercial jet crash in the United States, since 1971, that had both fatalities and survivors.
