on 5/3/2009 Of course, if a plane--or bus, or car, or ANYthing--slams full-force into something there will be no survivors; that goes w/o even saying. And, there is no room today for "sensitive travelers"--restrictions are so invasive and demanding before you even get ON a plane, that modern travel is only for the hardiest and mature. As I also stated, the safest way to travel is not to, but if you must, this is what the experts say to do. So, where's your article detailing what to do--or any articles, for that matter?

on 5/3/2009 This article is ridiculous . If there are 400 seats in a plane and his article suggests 10 are safer than the rest.This will just create anxiety in people as it means the majority of every flight will have to go in unsafe seats. The internet has an audience of millions so websites like this one and the report by popular mechanics serve no real purpose except to create more anxiety and fear in sensitive air travellers. If a plane is flyin at 600 kms and hour and crashes no one will survive the impact.there is room for improvements in plane design and so decrease fatalities, but very litle demand upon the main manufacturers Boeing and Airbus to improve there designs, just silly articles like this. The passengers are the sardines in the tin when flying they can do nothing to save themselves. The only thing that can improve safety is better built planes with more s...

on 11/18/2008 Did you notice that one of the "safest" airlines is no longer in business? SWA did manage to kill one in a accident at Midway a few years ago, not a passenger but a death none the less. Listen to what Renencc said, those flt attendants are there for show, As a commerical pilot, flying heavy metal, I can empathize with her. Also consider that the smaller lighter planes the pilots typically have less exprience. Its not that they are bad pilots they are not, just less experience, kinda like someone who was just elected!

on 11/18/2008 as a flight attendant i would have to say thank you....hopefully everyone wont be rushing for the front of the plane now. lol. to me im not so sure that there is a safer part of the plane. they dont mention the crashes that do occur and the aircraft is a blazing ball of flame and no one survives, front or back. over the wing is less of a chance of feeling sick and it is an emergency exit which to me is where i sit cause i know ill be the first out due to my skills and training......read your seatback emergency card and pay attention to your emergency drills. we dont do it for entertainment and its rude to talk over us! at least i know im getting off safe but are you????
