I wonder if they'll touch on something which stopped for many years and has returned over recent years. This is the placing of rows of seats at overwing emergency exits.
This seating was advised (regulated?) against following the British Airtours disaster at Manchester airport. I believe, and others here who are more knowledgable can correct me, it was highlighted in an official report into the accident, where despite being on the ground, passengers could not evacuate the aircraft quickly enough.
It seemed to re-appear with the rise of 'budget' airlines, and mainline carriers following suit.
Maybe someone can enlighten me as to the full story on this type of seating.
As to surviving aircrashes, I remember being told (whilst very young and naive) that the best place is in the toilet - though I'm not sure why.
Sadly, I have to agree with the point by Pax Vobiscum about the downgrading of Horizon.
