I really don't think I'd be that scared in a plane crash, depending on the time of day and how much I've had to drink. Plane crashes are survivable more often than not. Think its like 97% survival rate.

Are you drinking right now? I'd like more detail on that 97% figure.

Does each Cessna 172 deadsticking into a field count the same as an MD-80 plunging into Santa Monica Bay? One
survivable, one not?

Maybe it's in the definition of "crash".

I think the majority of deaths in airliner crashes has been fire related and not impact. You have about a minute to get out or you are done from poisonous gases from materials burning. Much less now than in the past but still there.
