I'm pretty sure the cops chasing them are an indicator that it's unacceptable behavior.

I went on this international youth camp thing in Thailand in the nineties. They transported us kids in 2 buses with armed police escorts in front and behind. Several times during the journey through a rural area outside of Bangkok the buses just used the wrong lane and the oncoming traffic just had to pull over or get out of the way however they could. Haven't thought about how weird that was in ages.

Best way to die in a plane is to send it like Alaska Airlines Flight 261

best way is 100% CFIT, or controlled flight into terrain. no idea anything is wrong until you emerge from a cloud a few hundred feet away from a mountain.

see air france flight 117, pan am flight 292, korean air flight 801

After watching a bunch episodes of Air Disasters, the closest thing to a "good" way to die in a plane is to go like Payne Stewart or Helios Airways Flight 522 where the plane gets to cruising altitude without being pressurized. Anything else, you're going to know what's happening way too long.

Worst case is surviving the crash but not escaping the plane. If I've learned anything from Air Disasters, it's that the plane naturally yearns to be on fire, and very little can stop it from being on fire once the systems are disrupted by a rough landing. And the fire is some of the most toxic poo poo available.

On a modern airliner, the entire cabin has to be capable of being evacuated in under 90 seconds through only one half of the exits assuming nobody goes digging through the overhead bins for their carryon

Didn't at least 1 person on the hellos flight regain consciousness right before it ran out of fuel? I remember the intercept pilots seeing people moving in the cabin.

Flight attendant Andreas Prodromou had a portable oxygen supply and was seen trying to land the plane. But it's not so much a matter of regaining conciousness, at that point he would have been the only person still alive. He must have had the air to remain concious in the first place. If I remember correctly, which I may not.

Edit: Looked it up, the passengers were 'alive' as in had heartbeats but would have been brain-dead by time of impact. :(

I remember that one. He was moving about the plane after everyone else was incapacitated, trying to find something he could do that that would help, but couldn't. :(

The episode where they showed the firefighting training was really cool. I love that show. It's forensic files, but with plane crashes.

Flight attendant Andreas Prodromou had a portable oxygen tank and entered the cockpit. He had flight training, but wasn't qualified to land a 737, and the plane was already running on fumes when he got there. He was able to bank the plane a bit so it crashed in a rural area instead of smacking into Athens, though.

Or you can be outside of the plane at SFO and be run over by the fire truck.
