The odds of a tragic plane accident are 1 in 11,000,000. So extremely small. However I still give you some tips to prepare for a possible emergency landing and increase your chances of survival in the event of a plane crash.

2. Know your surroundings
Take the time to explore your surroundings once you board. Identify the nearest emergency exits and count the rows to them. This information can be invaluable in the event of an emergency landing.

Knowing the location of the emergency exit and the number of rows between you and it can significantly contribute to a quick and effective evacuation.
