Ramesh is usually not the safest place

Ramesh has called Their existence is “a miracle.”

This is particularly notable where he was sitting: towards the front of the aircraft. The prevailing knowledge has long been Safest part of the aircraft Is the back.

John Hansman, a professor at Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT, explains, “Usually in an airplane accident, it is better due to being behind the airplane because you are as a shock absorber to take some impact load on the front of the airplane.”

But in this case, which Hansman described as a “landing accident”, based on the video showing the landing gear and the descent of the tail aircraft, was the first part of the aircraft to hit the ground.

Hansman said, “Because the tail was the first hit because it caused the entire torso to move forward and the slam in the ground, and this would cause the torso break.” “If he said that he went through a break, this was the reason that there was a reason for that break.”
