Do Planes Really Float?
We have all seen those nice graphics on the nice laminated card that you get in the seat pocket of a plane (fully intact) floating on the water with life rafts full of passergers floating away from the plane.
In reality all of the water crashes recently have amounted to total destruction of the aircraft with complete loss of life.
So my question is: Can a plane safely land on water and can plane float? Or are these nice graphics just leading passengers into a false sense of security?
