Love is the battery of life....

Hi,


I remember reading such an article / research.  If my memory servrs me well the results were: Not in the front (first haff) neither close to the end (another 1/4)......  that leaves a quarter (betwen thr middle and the 3/4). 
I'll do my best to find that article and I promise to send it to as I find it (I am quite sure I will find it....... need some time ....... and I'm very short of it......  will you sell me some ?  .....  lol.......).
Best regards,

Oron is right, but I'd like to simplify what he wrote. Researchers couldn't come up with a specific safe part of commercial aircrafts, But, statistic has been showing a consistent pattern of survivors seating close to an emergency exit. It might sound obvious, but keep in mind that those exits are placed both in the front and the back of the fuselage. Most deaths are caused by fire, and not from the impact cause from the crash. The conclusion is that the most influencing variable on survival chances is time and not location.
