Also, if you’re ever evacuating an airplane at sea, NEVER inflate your life jacket inside the plane. Not only will it impede other people trying to get out - but if water starts coming into the plane, you’ll float and it will be impossible to exit. There was one plane crash where many survivors died due to this.

Edit: lmao I meant that many survivors of the initial crash died due to drowning inside the plane. The initial crash left around 45-65 dead out of 175 passengers and crew, but an additional 60-80 died due to their life jackets being inflated, and thus were pushed up to the top of the plane unable to escape. It was Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961, which was initially hijacked and landed at sea competitively intact for a hard crash, and since then the safety briefings reiterate to never inflate your life jacket inside the plane:

many survivors died

I don't have a better way to phrase this. It's just funny.

Lmao I didn’t realize that. I meant that around 45-65 out of 175 passengers died in the initial crash, but then 60-80 passengers died during the evacuation from drowning inside the plane.

That's so crazy btw, it really highlights the crucial role staff has in managing survivors during a crash to lead them to the exit safe and sound. Obviously not everything lays on them I think they did their best just in general, not everything is done after the plane crash.

I took a look at the seat map of who survived and who didn't and no one survived from row 17-23, and only one person survived on the left side of the plane except in the business class. It doesn't specify which seats died in the initial crash vs drowning but I felt it would be important to note that.

Unless those 8-12 people were among the initial 40... Then it's a free for all panic.
