And why do flight attendants enfore this like it’s life or death?
In: 39
Most fatal airplane crashes occur during take off or landing. The first 90 seconds after a crash are vital as well. That is the average time it takes before the chances of survival plummet due to the spread of smoke or flames.
If you’ve ever tried to get out of your seat when the row in front of you is tilted back you know it can be challenging. Imagine doing that after being concussed and in a panic. So the seats need to be up to ensure rapid easy evacuation in under 90 seconds after a crash landing.
