I can say that I would rather be sitting behind when the plane crashes into the rock. Why is. The length of the ATR42 is 22.67 meters. Suppose the last seat is located at a distance of 15 meters from the nose. Cruiser speed is 556 km/h. So, from the moment of hitting my nose in a rock to the moment of hitting my chair in the same rock, one second will pass (556 km: 3600 s). During that time, I will at least have time to enjoy the shit that happens to the passengers in front of me.
