Airplanes crash everyday, killing all passengers on board. Chances of survival are next to zero, for those ill prepared. Pineappleope.com is attempting to supply you with the information to survive an airplane crash – Save yourself the misery of dying by plane crash, with this knowledge you can guarantee yourself better chances of survival than the guy sitting next to you.

1. Wear long pants, a long-sleeve t-shirt, and sturdy, comfortable, lace-up shoes. Of course you may want to be comfortable or professional-looking on a flight, but sandals or high heels make it hard to move quickly within the wreckage. Loose or elaborate clothing also poses a risk, as it can get snagged on obstacles in the close confines of a plane. If you know you’re going to be flying over cold areas, dress appropriately, and consider keeping a jacket on your lap. You’ll need to be able to stay warm if you survive the crash. Even if that is not a consideration, the more of your body is covered during impact, the less likely you are to receive serious injuries or burns. Cotton or wool clothing is also preferable as it is less flammable. Wool is preferable to cotton when flying over water, as wool does not lose its insulative properties to the degree cotton does when wet.

2. Book the right seats. (Read ‘Secret seats on airplanes) Because the initial impact is most often survivable, the key to living to tell about a crash is frequently how quickly you can get out. To this end, it’s best to get seats as close as possible to an exit, and aisle seats are generally preferable. In addition, try to sit in the back of the plane. Passengers in the tail of the aircraft have 40% higher survival rates than those in the first few rows.

BANGKOK – A rampaging elephant stomped three rubber tappers to death in southern Thailand on Wednesday after it was left to wander freely by its handler, police said.

The 38-year-old domesticated elephant is believed to have attacked the workers in three separate plantations in Trang province before it was recaptured.

The beast first crushed a 44-year-old male worker before dawn, then struck at another plantation a few kilometers (miles) away, killing a 38-year-old female rubber tapper, said police Lt. Sonjit Ma-ou.

“Her husband saw it charging toward her, grabbing her body with its trunk and throwing her on the ground before stomping on her body,” Sonjit said.

A 51-year-old woman was found dead in a rubber plantation nearby, Sonjit said, adding that various bones in her body appeared to have been broken.

“There was no witness in the last case, but we found footprints of the beast and from the manner in which she was killed, we believe it was an attack by the same elephant,” he said.

The elephant was later captured and taken back to its owner, who was made to chain it up. The authorities were investigating whether the elephant’s handler was negligent in letting it wander free, Sonjit said.

It was unclear what might have prompted the rampage, but Songjit said the elephant had previously attacked and wounded at least three other people in the area.

Working elephants in Thailand are typically used for tasks such as logging, but a growing number are used as tourist attractions on the streets of Bangkok and at camps around the country.

A handshake is a short ritual. Right handshaking, for as long as the living can remember, has always been the appropriate handshake. In recent years a new movement of left handshaking brought on mostly by the wealthy upper class has taken hold, and seemingly will not go away. Shaking hands with the left is widely considered classy amongst the high society. Such hand shaking practices have trickled down to those less fortunate. Fueled by the popularity of shaking hands itself, the left handshake may become the new right within the next decade. Joseph Levi said it best when he said:

“As we all in our Movement truely trust each other, this method of our own shaking with the left hand instead of the right, is used throughout the movement. The Left hand is nearer to the heart.”
