Everybody’s seen that white-knuckled traveler on the plane who gasps at every bit of turbulence. Maybe you’re even one of them. Keep reading and learn some interesting facts that will hopefully make your next trip a little less stressful. The truth is, flying IS safer than driving.

In fact, out of everybody who has ever been involved in a plane crash, 95% have survived. If you happen to be the unlucky 1 out of 1.2 million people who are ever involved in a plane crash, there are a few things you can do to help your chances of survival: sit in the back of the plane, have an exit plan in mind, know where the exits are, and…drumroll please…actually pay attention to the flight attendant who is demonstrating how to use the oxygen mask.
