What to do before and after a plane crash
1. Wear long pants, a long-sleeve t-shirt, and sturdy, comfortable, lace-up shoes. The more of your body covered during an impact, the less likely that you will receive burns and others serious injuries. Also, wearing gym shoes will make it safer and easier for you to escape from the plane. 2. Book the right seats. How quickly you are able to escape a plane crash and where you sit on a plane will affect your chances of survival greatly. Seats in the back of a plane have a 40% higher survival rate. Try booking an aisle seat that is near the back of a plane and close to an exit. 3. Read the safety information card and pay attention to the preflight safety speech. It is very important to listen to the safety information provided by the flight attendants. Flight attendants give crucial information that will assist you in case of an emergency. 4. Make a plan. Review where the exits are and try to count the number of seats between your row and the exit row; that way you’ll know when you’ve reached the exit even if you can’t see it. 5. Keep your seatbelt securely fastened at all times. 6. Put your oxygen mask on before assisting others. You have a short period of time to get your oxygen mask on before losing consciousness. It is important for you to protect yourself before protecting your children or other loved one, because you are no good to anyone if you are unconscious. 7. Protect yourself from smoke. Place a wet towel or handkerchief over your nose and mouth to protect from breathing in harmful smoke. 8. Get out of the airplane as quickly as possible. It is so important to get out of the plane as soon as plane, especially if fire or smoke is present. If you survive a plane crash, chances are likely that your struggle is not yet over.
