Well, the good thing is, is that, as we've said, when this aircraft came down, it hit flat. If it had cartwheeled, and if you think about United 232 in Sioux City, Iowa, where the crew didn't really have controllability of the airplane, they did get the airplane at least to a piece of pavement.

The wingtip drug and, of course, that airplane cartwheel broke the fuselage apart, and that's where the fatalities and serious injuries came from. In this particular instance, while that wing did catch and break, The fuselage stayed intact and that's what protected these passengers, not only from a lot of the impact forces and of course debris in sliding, but then the post accident fire.

The other thing is, these airplanes are now equipped with 16 G seats, so they are really energy absorbing seats they are meant to collapse. When the, when the G forces are exceeded. That absorbs a lot of that high energy force that the body can't absorb. And then, of course, wearing your seatbelt, not loose. It has to be snug and it has to be across your lap.

We get a lot of abdominal injuries by people wearing a seatbelt up around their stomach or across their belly button. The lap belt is meant to be on your lap. That is across the top of your thighs, cinched down. That's what kept these people in the seat.

So the structure, and we've learned this, Megan, from years of accident investigation and improvements in crash survivability and the way we design and build aircraft today.
