Post by YYZ727 »

Tonight 10.00 o'clock BBC 2 : 'The Survivors Guide to Plane Crashes', a documentary on how to survive airplane crashes. (Where to sit, which airlines (not) too fly, etc...) Promising feature if you ask me.

Want to read a real story of survival?

Howdy,

Read Joe Sharkey's column (front page) from Tuesday’s (10/3/06) New York Times surviving the crash in Brazil last week. He was on the Embraer executive jet that collided with the 737. He lived but 155 on the 737 died.

The Embraer didn't crash, it made a safe landing, how's that 'surviving a crash'?

Joe Sharkey surviving collision at 37K feet

Post by bkonner »

That's true I suppose as he was in a collision at 37,000 feet. Still it is interesting reading as he survived being struck by a 737.
