    Make them buy two tickets, drive, or take a boat.

    Well, two things, I've never heard of a jet going down in the ocean
    and people living. If you are alive, surely there is some busted up
    stuff to grab onto as you're not going to still be holding that little
    floatie pad they call a "life vest".

    And if that doesn't work, just wait for a fat guy to drown and float
    on him. It's his fault anyway.

    If you want a reference I can get you one...

  6. Top poster,
    I would like a reference for the frequency of survivors in water
    crashes on planes which contain the number of passengers where it is
    necessary to remove flotation devices to compensate for fatties.

    Thanks,
    D

    'An estimated 60 to 80 passengers were still strapped in their chairs
    and have presumably drowned, said Thomson.'

    Maybe we can dump those damn seat belts and gain a fattie!

    I've see this movie before. It is pretty ugly the way the plane falls apart.
    Many folks survived with minor injuries, many didn't make it.
