"A scary thought.."

This might not be true but even if it is, it scares the Hell out of me.

"Many airline crash fatalities do not die from the impact, they survive the impact and then die from smoke inhalation caused by fire."

Now how would that feel? UUURRRGHHHGGGGOD. Yep, that's how. Just the thought of that makes you hurl and cringe inside.

I read it here: http://www.freeaccommodation.org/ats/ATShome.htm

Why? Because I wanted to know how to survive one if ever it came to it.. Chances are obviously low, but.

Do you believe it?
I do and don't. Some people barely survive a 60mph car crash into a tree. How are you gonna survive at plane crash heading towards the ground at 600(?)mph?!

Anyway.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year to you to. Tip. When flying on planes, bring a gas mask.

What about the masks that are supposed to drop down into your lap during an emergency? And people STILL die from smoke inhilation??

Good to know what my taxes are spent on.

It all depends on how the plane breaks up really. If the wings fall off, then the fuselage will plummet to the ground and shatter into a million pieces, as well as the people on board. But if the wings remain intact then there's a good chance the plane will land on it's belly. That's when the fuel tanks erupt. But planes have special "avrogas" that is designed to ignite on impact and fizzle out as quickly as possible. That means a massive blast and flash, but it's over after that. The most dangerous part of a plane crash is putting your head between your legs - THEY MAKE YOU DO THAT SO THAT YOU BREAK YOUR NECK. It's true.

Anyway, happy new year...

And the oxygen makes you docile.

Also, you know how they make you hold onto small children?

Well, you cant hold onto a small child when you crash at 500mph. So they will die by default.

Heh.

And the huge shards of hot metal that will inevitably come your way...

Did you see when Concord crashed on the news?

Heh, flying is for mugs :D
