I always choose wing seats, but only because I like a point of reference and seeing the wing do wing stuff.

So be the person filming the crash. Got it.
shortbutsquat
The rear toilet is where I'm sitting from now on. Knock all you want.
OddlyPacific
If you’re flying in a 727, go ahead and sit wherever
DiesSeveralTimesEachDay
I've always assumed it was a window seat as close to the middle of either wing as possible.
drduffer
Well, I’m sure as hell not flying first class on a 727 any time in the future.
Hellbrand
I mean, Considering their age and how many are actually still in service let alone passenger service? I don't think many are at all
mrputter
Spoiler alert - probably not right there:
lisamel
But it's got the best window, and what a view.
VitaminT
Us poor people are gonna be just fine.
HardyandRamanujan
I always end up in the ass of the plan, so I'm honky doo
AtaSeaParks
The front fell off!
WaitingManAus
Thanks John & Brian...
RednapxpandeR
A little faster and I don’t think anyone is walking away without something
bj52398
Would you rather sit in Smoking or Burned Beyond Recognition?
Treblaine
Ohhh that early 2000s bitcrushed audio.
DrDadJokes
Mexico, definitely the safest spot
vonKaiser
Wonder if a gear up landing would have saved the front of the fuselage?
GermanSausagesAreTheWurst
Maybe a little, but the way it broke up as soon as it touched, I'm thinking those things are more fragile than I realized.
eetsumkaus
I don't think most of them are designed to withstand being driven straight into the ground
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
Then Jerry climbs out of the wreck and goes "Somewhere 'round the middle part was most comfortable!"
oldguyexlurker
Apparently the safest spot is not over Mexico.
Jdizzle34993
Over the wings. Always over the wings. The most heavily guarded spot. Fuel and lift. Two things you need to fly.
HystericalGamin
Why did they have the wheels down???? It’s not water…
STAR266
Only over Mexico?
azzabat
Gotta be the rear. I’ve heard of planes flying into mountains … but never reversing into them.
fformulaa
Dang! Good thing we have lap belts otherwise we'd be done butter toast. Wonder if the slip n slide is used for dessert evac
TheChunguskaEvent
what if you're not over Mexico
mikeatike
Then your fucked. Also all passenger 727s are retired, the remaining ones don't have seats.
JoshuaFalken
You keep living with New Mexico hoping she doesn't find out.
USSBigBooty
F'd in the A. Trees? Super F'd in the A.
DankestofKang
Was no longer over Mexico when it crashed.
secretoaster
Just have to fly until you're over Mexico.
loveisallwereallyhave
LMAO comments are brilliant tonight
Blackmetalhappiness
Fly to Mexico.
WatashimoLurky
That's a good point. They need to do a hell of a lot more testing, uncluding places over the jungle in Mexico, not just the desert.
DemSumBigAssRidges
It's ok. You'll get over Mexico some day, buddy.
cryborg

It's the same but without the yellow tint/filter

No, I don’t think they will ever get over Mexico.

They crash planes every where. This was just an example.
or more importantly, which part of Mexico?
rasheans
All México
scoutMoonDiver
The sandy part.
decarnatedame
The Mexican part.
GingerLaird
Then you're probably not in that plane.
What happened?
Looks like there was a 727 over Mexico that was destined to crash in 2012. They ran an experiment to determine the safest spot on the >>
>> plane was, so they could inform the plane and its passengers to move to that spot in the plane to minimize casualties.
This is the grimmest message ever delivered of all time.

mcgoon
Tough luck, all you first- and business-class folks up front.
CreepyPhlox
I was thinking all us poor folk in the back by the bathrooms will be just fine.
still beats coach amirite
Islandvoid
I tell ya what
Kehy
Is actually pretty well known that coach is safer in a crash, even before this
Skizzlesnap
It’s by design. Who were the most worthless people on Gilligan’s Island? Yep, the Howells.
Having worked around planes and their historical design... nah bro, you way off. It's a trend that started before engines were a thing
criggie
Well they did get there first.
Keru
Who knew air travel was so anti-capitalist?
loopthegif
Always thought it was odd that on most transport the first class is up front…:
slack3rdav3
should be all the way in the back since they load on first, but they do it to make the poor ppl walk by the rich ppl.
TheMeanGombeen
They're designed to crush on impact.
Lividlion
Better loot for the survivors.
Drakenborn
They'll fix that in future iterations. By version 3 the rich won't even spill their drinks and the poors will just explode just in case.
drunkbs
The first class section will just eject with parachutes and gently fall to the ground.
TheFakeCraigFerguson
That earned a hearty laugh from me
huffnpuff72
Keep the actual workers safe?
DidItForScience
Aren't the stewardess' jump seats just behind the cockpit?
CreatureFromtheBlackLegume
Well fuck the pilots, I guess
sesamesnapsinhalf
You’re paying for a quick and painless death.
HappinessOnTap
Yep. At least my knees won’t be screaming at me due to a lack of legroom.
RuinedChildHood
The only time when the back is better ?
The seat that literally doesn’t decline at all? Emergency exit seat is king.
weerdo
Not the only time.. I can think of several moments where being in the back is a good place to be
CanuckleheadChick
What did they determine?
slashfest
'not there'
NothingPrince
Middle. Which is obvious if you think about it
AdamGenesis
Stay the fuck out of the cockpit.
LiarLiarPantsUntier
All planes land.
donkeystothecastle
Landing on a runway is safer
DeltaLaw
Let's just run another 49 tests to get some decent data
SilverDust133
Would think water/sand landings should not use landing gears?
betwitched
Now the expensive seats are in the back
llortamai
That the jet was out of fuel.
sharK11
it's not the front
The chair back should be in the upright position.
fokjoudoos
Mythbusters determined they needed the plane to go faster than it did and hit a harder surface at a greater angle to get any real data.
4vie
... Did the build team head up that myth? It feels like something they'd do.
fishcakes23
They said with the money involved it was better to go slower to ensure the experiments survived. The documentary is great
ImAFoxButNotReally
Try no to crash
Pokegeologist
Full speed belly landing bad idea. Remind any former Navy aviation of that.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Stay out of Mexico
cccampbell79
The cameraman looks relatively safe. ?♂️
bro02tc
Crash bad don't do it
CasualTarantula
Keep gear up for belly landing. Why tf would you have gear down in a real scenario?
rvisual01
Back of the plane is often safer than the front
pxlphile
Business class not worth it
BlackCatCasper
The ground is harder than the plane
That the plane crashed.
AlwaysInTheshadows
Safest is the back of the plane due to impact reduction. The rest is the plane 'whiplashes' into the ground with greater force.
gumblemuntz
That, and planes only rarely back into mountains
StiinkySkunk
Don't be the pilot.
JamesAHarrod
Safest place is in the ground, not in the plane
kerms
But the ground is what kills you
AntRam95
The ground ain’t safe, it’s where bears live
DavidBrooker
Ironically, if you're in the plane, the ground is the most dangerous place (and I mean taxiing and runway excursion, not collisions)
elicansmile
Crashing planes cost a lot of money.
Piizzle
Stay home.
afnoot42
Or teke the train
Planes are relatively safe honestly, given the huge numbers flying and low numbers that have done the not- flying

And from 9/11, we immediately saw the effects as well. Not saying it overrides the bad, but the clouds formed by planes have a cooling effec

SketchyRupert
Thanks for the link - that was funny..!
The area between the wings are most structurally sound, and its really a toss up whether it's the tail first or nose first collision.
RobErtE87
Unless there's fuel on board. Add a some tons of kerosene and suddenly the wing area looks less desirable.
but in this crash, the people in the far back were safest. Wing region took most of the shock, and the people in first class were screwed.

ramram70
Ok, do you have test results of the safest spot on the plane over let's say Alaska?
kamikazehindenburg
In Alaska the overhead bins are the safest to be in, but that is only true in the non-contiguous states.

Wings are also were the fuel is so those passengers get BBQ first
