737 Makes Water Landing

This plane had ran out of fuel after being highjacked. I believe over half of those on board survived.

Better than crashing into the side of a mountain.

Yup very false, landing in the sea is the worst possible scenario for a landing.

Really, water ditches have a decent survival rate, like the last one in 2005, Tuninter 1153, where more than half survived.

And a water ditch was not the intention of the pilots in this case. After running out of fuel they attempted to land at the airport on Grande Comore, but the Ethiopian terrorists weren’t too keen on that and forced the plane off course leaving them no option other than a water ditch, from which one third of the passengers survived.

I think there's better chances of survival on water than land

I think there's better chances of survival not letting any terrorists on board.

I think this was in Africa I can't quite remember, but I read an article about it in readers digest.

you can crash into a mountain any time you want. I will go for the sea. It will soften the impact a lot. Most planes nowadays carry small rubber-rescue-boats for that reason. So go for the sea.

The sea is better I believe after all you can't land on a crowded beach. Even if you had room a wheels down landing on soft ground is not good. Maybe he water landed to minimize fire.

Fire is what usually kills you in a crash. i read somewhere that if you don't get out of the plane during the first 60 seconds after a crash, you are almost completely without a chance of survival. that is if theres a fire. I guess if you land on water its the same, only you drown if you dont get out... Plane crashes have to be the fricken worst way to die.
