Your plane is about to crash, something like the one that happened in Mangalore recently. What would YOU do to stay safe? Air travel is considered by the experts to be the safest way to get from point A to point B. Statistics are constantly backing up this statement. But every year odds-defying accidents do occur, and fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to survive a plane crash--just in case.


Step 1
Know where you are on the plane. As you board, count how many rows you are from the exits. If your plane goes down and there is smoke, you will be able to count the rows until you are safely to an exit.

Step 2
Know the plane's safety procedures. Read the safety card and actually pay attention to the flight attendants' demonstration. Knowing the safety procedures will greatly improve your survival chances after a plane crash.

Step 3
Prepare for a crash landing. Cross your hands on the seat in front of you and place your head in your hands. Stay in this position until the plane has come to a rest.

Step 4
Get to the nearest exit quickly. After the plane comes to a stop, get out as fast as possible because the plane can fill with poisonous fumes very quickly. Stay low to the ground and get out as fast as you safely can.

Step 5
Move as far away from the plane as you can. Get behind something large, like a building or a large tree for cover, in the event that there might be an explosion.

 

Step 6
Leave everything on the plane. Don't waste your time looking for your bag or your laptop. Things can be replaced; your life, unfortunately, cannot.

Many just dont know these important pointers which needs to be known by all the air travellers all the time. Also if someone doesn't know one should tell these things to others so that they can make others also aware of it, as I did by sharing this article with all on the platform.

NOTHING WORKS... JUST PRAY TO ALLAH ( GOD, RAM, KRISHNA )... IF HE WANTS TO SAVE U... NOTHING CAN HAPPEN TO U !! Ask the Man ( WHO CAME OUT WITHOUT A SCRATCH FRM THE MANGALORE CRASH ), WHICH OF THE ABOVE MEASURES DID HE TAKE ?

Naushad has the right point.
Pray to god almighty before you enter the plane or bus or train,car,byke or eben walk on the footpath.
In Airplane ,take the rear seats if possible always .The rear of the plane is the part which in Most of the cases which is intact.so the chance of survival and making a survival of it is easy
if not make sure to be in the emergency door seat.coz most of the time ssome bulky nonfexible person takes those seats and dont do the necessary functions in times of emergency or will rather become a stumbling baggage in such circumstances leading to loss of precious time for exit.

Always remember that front and the centre is most dangerous.

I agree with Naushad... none of these really works...
its just ur luck.

They usually say that if the plane crashes into the ocean, there are chances of survival... Its actually more worse than land....due to friction of the ocean and plane, it gets ripped apart... no a great scene u want to be in... lol just pray

Nice point Mr. Naushad, ofcourse we need to have faith in the almighty, but the percentage of survival will be more if we know few of the above points, but the thing is many of us really don't care about this as we always think like, nothing will happen to us....I think presence of mind saved those survivors from that horrific crash....
