What are the best seats for survival? Anonymous
So I'm going to book a flight for October, and I'm wondering if there is a specific seat or set of seats that would be safer to sit in, in the event of a crash.

Pic unfortunately related.

The tail. It's structurally stronger for some goddam reason or other -- I forget why, but it is. Tail section almost always survives, even when the rest of the aircraft looks like a burnt pancake.

Towards the back. If there is going to be a crash, the nose will hit first. If the wings hit first, it'll rip the middle. You'll want to be near the emergency exit in the back. Asile seat so you don't bump the side of the plane in massive turbulence.

But really, you have nothing to worry about. You'll take a bigger risk driving to the airport.

Near the wings, at least, that's what this guy who's studying air and space engineering told me. Same reason as>>48299

I'd say near the back, but flying is still the safest method of travel so I wouldn't worry.

all accidents are different, there is no set safe position.

I'd guess somewhere in the back, since the nose usually hits the ground first (thus taking the biggest hit) and because the fuel is stored in the wings.

the most important thing to consider, is that if the plane crashes you're probably fucked either way
