from AirSafe.com:<br><br>(The way I read this is you have about a 1 in 3 chance of surviving a fatal accident on a large airliner. Forget about surviving on a propeller aircraft.)<br><br>"If the plane crashes, don't most people die? <br>One can argue this question several ways. Based on a review of accidents between 1978 and 1995 with at least one fatality to a passenger, there were a total of 164 fatal accidents involving large jet transports designed in western Europe or the U.S. In 68 cases, all passengers died and in 15 others between 90% and 100% of the passengers died. In 37 cases less than 10% of the passengers died. Among propeller driven aircraft, there were 178 events involving aircraft designed outside of the former Soviet Union and eastern Europe. Of those, all were killed in 108 cases, between 90% and 100% in six cases, and less than 10% in nine cases."<br><br>
