I don't know how many times I've heard people mock the flight attendants for giving instructions on how to evac after a water landing or any kind of crash, in fact.

I've always felt that it was very possible to survive many, many times of crashes.

Yeah, but they did get to eject, unlike passengers.

I forgot that the B-1B has the ability for the crew to eject; you're right.

I will reference you to the following article at CNN involving the crash of a hijacked Boeing 767 into the Atlantic Ocean off of the Ivory Coast in Africa.

I believe there was footage of this crash, if I recall correctly. And it wasn’t something that I would want to be in, but it does prove that one can survive a plane crash.
