LuckyLady asked:

The news of recent plane crashes (Air France Airbus 330 and US Airways 1549 ) have me thinking, What should I do If I’m on a flight that crashes?

I pay attention to the in flight demonstration of course, but is there anything else I can do to increase my chances of survival?

There is another air crash in US. Is riding a plane safe? Is there a way to go from China to US other than by air? Why not bring paragliders on the planes? In case of emergency, you can jump out. Is there such a boat that goes from China to US?
Is there a boat from Beijing to California? Thanks!

I always thought water was certain death as water becomes very hard upon impact, but the recent crash in New York where the plane survived in one piece made me wonder if water landings are safer. I was also told pilots don’t train for water landings because there isn’t much chance to survive. Kinda a pointless question I know, but I’m just curious.

Holtane Canbass asked:

A commercial jet crashes about once every fortnight now, sometimes more often. Commercial air traffic is growing rapidly. Soon one will crash every day. Would you still fly on jetliners if one 747 sized plane crashed and was reported on the news headlines everyday killing ~200 people? This would still mean a low fatality ratio.
