If you were gonna die in a plane crash, do you want to be asleep or awake?
 

I think I'd want to be awake

depends... am I flying the plane at the time?

I'd want to be asleep ....

Reminds me of the old joke.....

I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and yelling like the passengers in the bus he was driving.

;-)

Sure,,,then it would be your fault :1orglaugh

awake, would never want to miss all the fun.

Sleeping

awake at the front of the plane...asleep at the back..

i dont want my last memory being the split second of seeing everything infront of me crumbling and flying towards my face.

remember, statistically, the safest part of a jet is the emergency exit on the left ontop of the wing! (A)

I don't think it really matters either way...

Unless it was a sudden mid air crash, I doubt you could sleep through an airplane crash :2 cents:

awake. So i could repent.

awake so I can pick up a parachute(sp?) and jump :upsidedow

did you ever see a parachute in a passenger machine? just life vests, even on flights which do not go over water. and now tell me how many planes have successfully landed on water where the life vests were needed...

maybe i have just seen Fight Club one time too much :helpme

Who specified it was a passenger plane.

me :glugglug

awake so i can try to jump out the door like a mad man :)

it's not the safest place, it's the place where your body is most likely to be found intact. that's all...

I'll be the one running around screaming " I DONT WANT TO DIE AS A VIRGIN"

Does it really matter in the end. Once you die there is nothingness, you remember nothing because you no longer exist.

Fuck I'm taking the plane on the 14 stop with that shit. i'm already anxious enought with all the planes who already crashed those last weeks........

Awake, I don't want to miss the last part of my life..... Plus I can't sleep in plane!

asleep for sure

I dont want to die

definitely asleep.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming like the other passengers in his car.

be asleep and then just wake up in heaven :)

When the captian came over the intercom and said that the plane was going down, a young 18 year old virgin girl stood and and started screaming.

"Can some one make me feel like a real woman before I die?"

A handsome greek god from the back of the plane approached her. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt while walking towards her. As he came near he removed his shirt and threw it towards her.

"Sure honey go wash this for me"

cant sleep during any type of travel. :(

Why don't large airliners all have ejection seats for passangers?

and get sucked into the engine, hehehe. :1orglaugh

Doesn't really matter for me...

i rather be on fire, feeling my flesh boil off

Anyway, I'd like to be awake for the plane going down part.

And asleep for the horrible death.

asleep of course

Oh to be 18 again...

Well pretty impossible to sleep with tons of people screaming but I rather be asleep :Oh crap

Awake. imagine the rush you get right before your helpless body smashes into the seat in front of you...

It would make the cost of the plane way more expensive.....

if it's time to go,
go with a bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

If were gonna talk abt other way od dying,,then I wanna be Drawn and Quartered. :thumbsup

they wont allow you

they dont give a shit when a plane crashes and you or me dies in it. The only thing that they are sorry for is that plane could make more profit on the next flight.

Definately asleep!

Asleep I guess... better not know anything.

I'd pay huge money to see that. Seriously.

yes it matters.

many airline and most general aviation crashes are survivable if you know how to get out. airplanes continue to fly even with power loss, they just become gliders. even jets can make successful off-airport forced landings on land or water in the event of power loss. and almost all single engine small planes can land safely in a short flat area due to low stall speed. a cessna skyhawk can land and get stopped in about 400 feet with a dead engine.

if you are asleep, or inattentive about where your emergency exit is your greatest danger is fire of smoke inhalation after a successful forced landing. you need to get out of the airplane, and you need to be awake.

Hopefully I'm fast asleep if it ever happened

i'd rather be sleeping but i'm sure i'd get woken up by everyone screaming

so i think EVERYONE would be awake no matter what

Why do you assume you'd die in a crash?

If you think a jet ditching could ever be construed as a landing let alone a successful one, you're a fool. Same kind of dope that tells me to put on my life vest to jump into the North Atlantic in the event of a ditching... I mean "water landing".

not a fool. just a pilot for 20 years.

jets rarely ditch in the ocean. but if they do they are equipped with life rafts and fly "great circle routes" with specified altitudes and calculated engine out glide ratios to minimize the chance of a water ditching. there are no single engine airlines, and these aircraft can remain aloft losing half their engines.

when you fly to london from NYC you are mostly gliding distance to land the entire distance. same with chicago to tokyo.

when lindbergh flew the spirit of st.louis to paris he was over land most of the time. airlines do something similar as geography permits.

there is a reason airplanes don't go down in the middle of the ocean much. but if you must ditch in the ocean make sure you know how to put on your life vest---how to inflate it, and how to use the blow tube, and the emergency light. it is designed to save your life. there are lots of safety measures but lack of knowledge kills plenty of people when things go wrong.

I would eat out the stewardess.

And hopefully....
50 dead people
