  • child survives plane crash

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37100560...ica/?GT1=43001

    Only survivor out of 103. Talk about luck, good and bad.

    This happens surprisingly often. There was a single child survivor from an Indonesian "water landing" some time ago.

    It seems that there are survival spaces in certain kinds of accident - such as uncontrolled shallow-angle flights into terrain - that children fit into but adults don't. Some children also "go floppy" in a crisis which can be a good thing, adults tend to tense up which can cause more severe injuries.

    Life's going to be a lot more difficult for him when he recovers though, not to mention the relatives of everyone who didn't survive.
