Some more interesting reading regarding the survival of accidents

Goto: http://www.emergency-management.net/pub7.htm
It goes into a lot of detail as to why people die in aircraft accidents. It seems that in many accidents, where most or all of the passengers survived the initial crash, fire was the thing that killed people. At least in crashes onto land.

See http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9611/24/eth...ack/index.html to soo videos and hear audios about the Ethiopian Airlines crash into the ocean. Also to correct my previous post, the Jet crash landed in the Comoros Islands which are NOT in the Atlantic Ocean but are between Africa and Madigascar in the Indian ocean. I guess I need to read a little closer.

I agree that ppl will probably survive the first initial crash...however, i doubt the plane will float on the waters like boats...
