Report
C- Container- meaning the structure that occupants are in during the crash so for us the aircraft. If it remains intact the chances for survival are greater. R- Restraints- theses are things used to keep occupants inside the container to help improve survivability. E- Environment- this means the conditions that occur outside the container. E- Energy absorption- this means how the structure and restraints absorbed the shock of the crash. P- Post Crash factors- Was there medical help, could occupants exit safely, and was there any hazards such as fires. (Wood et al., 2006, p. 446) In our crash lab it is apparent that the container did break in half however, there were survivors from the crash. The other thing that we notice that we see things fell from the ceiling blocking some of the exit leaving holes in the side of the plane as the best way to get out of the holes in the side. We do see that the restraints on the seat did stay in tact and did help keep the occupants save which helped increase survivability. When we look at the interviews from the people on the flight they speak on how slow support (medical and fire) departments were slow to get to the scene which plays a role in how far the post-crash fire did spread. The fire happened in the area the plane slit, the instruments appeared in tact, and just some of the seats were burned. In all the crash was survivable however the body of the plane did not absorb the shock of the crash well which is why ot split. There were definitely factors that could have made this a non-survivable flight. Wood, R. H., Sweginnis, R. W., & Lederer, J. (2006). Aircraft accident investigation (p. 446). Endeavor Books.
