Help me settle this argument
    #7849267 - 01/08/08 05:33 PM (16 years, 24 days ago)

If you were on a commercial airliner going the average speed and is about to crash,
would you rather have it crash on land or in the ocean?

The plane is probably going 400+ MPH (i dunno the speed they would go)
and has the ability to put the landing gear.

My friend and me have been arguing a lot about this, and i just want to see the Pub's opinions

Where would you rather crash?
You may choose only one

I voted land but at 400 MPH you are fucking dead either way.

If you can put the landing gear out, and the pilot isn't dead, then land. At the height you would be at and speed I'm pretty sure water becomes the same thing as land on impact.
Either way you're fucked if you're crashing.

thats a tough one. you said the landing gears are good to go, but what if there isnt a clearing. if you crash in the ocean you might have a higher chance of surving (i dont know why). i would have to say the ocean.

You're utterly boned either way.

If the plane has fuel left, it's a flying bomb.

They explode when they hit water too.

yeah good, i said both situations are almost always totally deadly

but if the wheels come down, cant the plane atleast try to land on the earth?

and if it crashes in the ocean, isnt the plane ripped apart?
drowning and death by sharks too :thumbdown:

I'm pretty sure you'd be dead before you had the chance to even think about drowning or sharks.

If we're talking a jumbo jet, you're not going to make the landing unless you're very lucky. They'd probably land gear up to avoid having all that structure ripped out , no place is going to be smooth enough.

Odds are good that SOME kind of fire is going to break out, and you're all crispy.

I'd much rather drown than burn to death.

i said ocean. basically because i assumed the angle of approach was low enough to skip across the water :tongue: you left out too many details on this so i guess we can all just be imaginative lol.

if you land on the ocean you have a chance to maybe skip across the water and no fires. I you put it down on land i guarantee your going to be a flamming shiskaboob.

at such high speeds the surface tension (or something like that ) of the water makes it basically the same as flying into a brick wall

land. in water you have a bigger chance of sharks and other predators eating away at your dead body. at least on land there would presumably be more of you left to recover. possibly

theirs also the chance that if the plane was to sink in the ocean your gas mask might still work, giving you a chance to get out. If theirs a fire water will be close by

and who knows maybe a dolphin will try and save you

my vote is ocean
