If a huge fire breaks out on a plain mid flight, you realistically have no chance of survival right? So instead of trying to survive only to get burned to death you should inhale as much fumes as possible to pass out and die quickly before you are burned?
- solfox 3y agoIt seems somewhat tragic to me that you believe “inhaling as much fumes as possible” would even be an option. Human psychology doesn’t really work like that.
- xwdv 3y agoThe logic of inhaling fumes is not much farther removed from the logic of jumping out of a burning skyscraper. Anything to avoid burning to death.

- jMyles 3y agoNot at all. Fires are survivable, and the vast majority of aviation fires have ended without total airframe loss. Remember: everybody in a small captive space is a firefighter. And the chief firefighters are the people who we call "flight attendants". Their man job is to prevent the scenario you describe; they are nice enough to serve us drinks when that job is not required of them. Flight attendants and air traffic controllers have saved many, many lives in the past century and are barely recognized for it.
