Mary Roach Quote
If you look at survivable crashes, it’s rare that even half the emergency exits open, says Shanahan. Plus, there’s a lot of panic and confusion. Shanahan cites the example of a Delta crash in Dallas. It should have been very survivable. There were very few traumatic injuries. But a lot of people were killed by the fire. They found them stacked up at the emergency exits. Couldn’t get them open.
