I've read reports that some of the surviving pax...
...owed their escape to being thrown from the plane into a stream, thereby avoiding severe burns. (
BBC).
Does anyone know if:
- They weren't wearing seatbelts (I hope this wasn't the case),
- Their seatbelts failed,
- Their entire seats were ejected with them,
- An entire floor section of the plane finished in the stream,
- Or if this report is a bit exaggerated.
It occurred to me as I was checking seatbelts in a cabin this morning.
I feel very sorry for everyone involved.
