Comment on British passenger in seat 11A survives India plane crash, reports say

• HumanPenguin@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  An article I noted but can’t remember where.

  Said seat 11a is next the the exit at the front of the wing. And pointed out this is the most structural reinforced section of the aircraft. Due to the forces on the wing.

  So he was fucking lucky.

    Yeah that sort of luck is hard to believe, but so is winning the lottery. But it usually happens to someone.

    Honestly, for him, I hope he was drunk. Otherwise, or even if he was, he’ll have fucking hard trauma forever. But studies show that you’re more likely to survive accidents and get less mental trauma if you’re drunk. (Although being drunk is often the cause for accidents, so discounting that…)

    Anyway, incredible luck in such misfortune

      Yeah he has been reported to comment. “He watched people die in front of him”

      So likely he is already starting to feel some PTSD. It is likely to get much worse as he gets over the shock. India is also far from a positive nation to have a mental health issue.

      Few places are great. But Indias culture is very much know to deny the existence. And opinion the idea it would be his weakness rather then a normal issue.

      So seeking treatment may never happen.
