Where to be seated to be safe during a flight?
This question often touches our minds every time we come across reports of air crashes.
Even as there has been no conclusive research or consensus on the matter so far, sitting at the rear end of the aircraft is considered safer.
This was concluded by Popular Mechanics in 2007 after examining data from every commercial plane crashes since the 1970s.
Those sitting in the rear cabin have 69 percent survival chances against 49 percent of those sitting in the front cabin.
According to The Express Tribune, a research conducted by Time reached a similar conclusion.
It examined data from the Federal Aviation Administration's CSRTG Aircraft Accident Database in 2015. It concluded that middle seats in the rear end are most likely to save lives.
It is also safe to be seated nearest to the emergency exit, another study conducted by the University of Greenwich in 2011 showed.
"Each accident is different, and there is no way to predict outcome and/or the circumstances of the accident before it occurs that would provide a definitive answer," stated to Keith Holloway, spokesperson for National Transportation Safety Board US.
