Is it because the plane will mostly hit nose first on the ground?
Has it ever been a case where people in front died/suffered injuries and the people in the back were fine? Is the back sturdier because it needs to withstand the force of the tail elevators?
In: Physics
The back of the plane will often break off during a crash-landing, separating itself from the fuel tanks/wings which usual start on fire, sparing the people seated in back from the lethal smoke and flames.
