Reply to comment by Minerva8918 in Qantas plane lands safely after mayday alert by KobayashiNoritake

If there's one thing I've learned from watching that show, get a seat near the back of the plane, and as close to an exit as possible. That's the most survivable situation in the case of a crash, but obviously, it's not guaranteed.

Always sit in the back of the plane because planes don't reverse into mountains.

I get what you're saying, but there have definitely been instances of planes spinning as they've fallen, so it's entirely plausible that the back could make first contact with the ground
