Related, an actual ode to a specific Boeing 727 nicknamed "Big Flo" that was used in a crash test in the Mexican desert: [LINK] [LINK] [VIDEO]
That is not correct. The back of the plane is slightly safer based on historical data, largely due to the tendency of the front of the plane to break off during a crash landing. [0] If the pilot is still pulling up when the plane contacts the ground, then you’re probably talking about an extremely high speed crash, where no seat is safe. The types of crashes you need to analyze for seat specific survivability are things like runway excursions and relatively level landings onto fields or bodies of water. O: [VIDEO]
For reference, here's a video of a Boing 727 landing in the desert: [VIDEO] It doesn't go terribly well.
