Imaginez être dans un avion, et qu'un changement de siège de dernière minute vous sauve la vie. C'est exactement ce qui est arrivé à Alan Ruschel, un footballeur brésilien, en 2016. Il voyageait avec son équipe, Chapecoense, lorsque leur avion s'est tragiquement écrasé en Colombie. À la demande d'un membre d'équipage, Alan a avancé d'une rangée, et ce petit changement l'a placé à un endroit qui, par miracle, l'a aidé à survivre. Sur les 77 personnes à bord, seules six ont survécu. C'est une histoire déchirante, mais la survie d'Alan est devenue un symbole d'espoir et de résilience. Animation créée par Sympa.

FunTranscript
00:00Ladies and gentlemen, we are crossing a turbulent zone.
00:03Please keep your seat belt fastened.
00:06Yes, turbulence can be unpleasant, but they are completely normal.
00:11You could even find yourself bouncing a little.
00:14But don't worry, it's quite natural.
00:16However, even if I tell you that turbulence is not so serious,
00:20it still costs about 500 million dollars a year to American airlines.
00:25And then there are those who try to play the musical chairs with their seats.
00:29You paid for your seat, but suddenly,
00:32someone wants to exchange it with you because they think your seat is cooler.
00:35FYI, no seat holds the secrets of the universe.
00:39But before judging too quickly, let me introduce you to Alan Ruschel,
00:43a Brazilian footballer who knows a little about seats.
00:48In 2016, Alan survived a terrible plane crash,
00:51which cost the lives of most of the other passengers.
00:54He changed seats at the last minute
00:56because one of his teammates absolutely wanted him to be next to him.
01:00So he moved forward, closer to the middle.
01:03And when the plane crashed, it may have saved his life.
01:07When Alan woke up at the hospital, he learned a devastating news.
01:11He had lost his teammates and was at risk of never playing football again.
01:15The flight was supposed to take them from Bolivia to Colombia for a big game.
01:18But things went wrong.
01:20The pilot had miscalculated the amount of fuel,
01:22which led to a disaster in the mountains, near Medellin.
01:27The plane broke at the impact, and of the 77 people on board,
01:31only 6 survived,
01:33including Alan and the goalkeeper who had convinced him to change seats.
01:38Let's be realistic.
01:39Reading these stories before taking the plane is not really natural to put you in a good mood.
01:44But seriously, was it a stroke of luck,
01:48or are there really safer seats on a plane?
01:51First of all, no matter where you sit,
01:54the plane remains one of the safest means of transport.
01:57Studies show that the middle seats in the back third of the plane
02:01are statistically your best bet if things go wrong.
02:05An analysis by Time magazine in 2015,
02:07based on 35 years of FAA data,
02:10revealed that the back third had a mortality rate of only 32%.
02:14The central third was slightly worse, with 39%,
02:18and the front third was at 38%.
02:21The middle seats in the back are doing pretty well,
02:24with a mortality rate of 28%.
02:26On the other hand, the middle seats on the side of the aisle
02:29show a frightening mortality rate of 44%.
02:32But there are no universal rules to choose the right seat.
02:36For example, during the sadly famous United Airlines flight 232 crash in 1989,
02:42most of the survivors were seated at the front of the plane,
02:45behind the first class and in front of the wings.
02:47During the tragic Tenerife disaster in 1977,
02:51the most fortunate were also, for the most part, at the front.
02:55If you want to avoid turbulence at all costs,
02:58choose a seat closer to the middle of the plane.
03:00After all, turbulences are much more frequent than accidents,
03:04which are like unicorns, super rare.
03:07And if you are, above all, security,
03:10choose a seat near a row of exits.
03:13According to FAA research,
03:15it is crucial to get out in 90 seconds following an accident,
03:19and these seats near the exits give you more chances to get there.
03:22You know, these seats with more space for the legs,
03:26which can sometimes be very expensive.
03:28But honestly, overall,
03:31no matter where you sit,
03:33the plane is super safe.
03:35And even in case of emergency,
03:37your chances of survival are pretty good.
03:3990.2% of passengers who were injured in a plane crash between 2001 and 2017
03:45got out with minor injuries or without injuries.
03:50Now, if choosing the perfect seat is not the most important thing,
03:54you should maybe think twice before getting on a plane.
03:58The aviation sector has progressed thanks to technologies
04:01and amazing security.
04:03But let's be realistic,
04:04from time to time, things can go wrong.
04:08Like during this recent Alaska Airlines flight
04:10which took off from Portland,
04:11but quickly turned around after losing a door panel in mid-flight.
04:16Fortunately, no one was injured,
04:18but this raised some questions about the quality control of Boeing.
04:22Now, Boeing is on the seat with the 737 MAX 9.
04:26But let's not reject the planes of this manufacturer too quickly.
04:29Take the Boeing 787 Dreamliner for example.
04:33It is not only elegant,
04:35it is also built with sophisticated materials
04:37for better energy efficiency
04:40and has a multitude of security devices.
04:43Manufacturers like Airbus are also doing very well.
04:47Embraer, as for them,
04:49is partnering with Flight Safety for the training of pilots
04:52to ensure that everyone is ready for takeoff.
04:55My friend, I tried to reassure you,
04:57but if you have come this far,
04:59it is time to give you some survival advice.
05:02Let's imagine the worst,
05:04you are the victim of a real plane accident.
05:07What should you do?
05:08If you are sitting in less than 7 rows of an emergency exit,
05:11congratulations,
05:12your chances of surviving are higher
05:14than your chances of having trouble.
05:16But if you are in more than 7 rows,
05:18well, first of all,
05:20hang on tight.
05:21And when the crew shows you how to do it,
05:24try it yourself.
05:25Why?
05:26Because the safety belts of the planes
05:28can be a little different from those of your car.
05:31Keep your belt well adjusted,
05:34low and tight on your hips,
05:36you must feel a little tight.
05:38If you can't stay positive
05:40and you want to prepare yourself for the worst
05:42before taking the plane,
05:43then train in the safety position.
05:46Take a minute to see how you feel.
05:49Lean your body and place your hands on your head.
05:53It may not be very comfortable,
05:55but the reason why you need this position is simple.
05:59In this way,
06:00you reduce considerably your risks of breaking your neck.
06:03Sometimes,
06:04very rarely,
06:05in emergency situations,
06:07the pilots ask the passengers to take this position.
06:10Now,
06:11the secret is to count the rows of seats
06:13until the exit.
06:14In case of smoke or extremely low visibility,
06:17you may freak out.
06:20Just count the seats
06:22as if you were counting sheep,
06:23except that,
06:24you know, it's to escape.
06:26Never inflate your life jacket inside the plane.
06:29If you do,
06:30you risk floating like a balloon
06:32while everyone is trying to get out.
06:34So,
06:35keep it deflated until you get out.
06:38I hope, however,
06:39that you will never need it.
06:41During an evacuation,
06:42it is important to stay grouped,
06:44but if you are separated,
06:46try to get out first.
06:48Try to find your friends
06:50while everyone rushes to the exit.
06:52It looks like a rush hour in a one-way street.
06:55A lot of confusion and completely blocked roads.
06:59Anyway,
07:00the most difficult thing is not to survive the accident itself,
07:03to protect your head
07:04or even to inflate your life jacket.
07:07Going down the slide is the last thing to do
07:09and it's the most difficult.
07:11Before jumping,
07:12check that you don't have sharp objects on you,
07:15needle heels
07:16or things in your pockets
07:18that could pierce the slide.
07:20To slide perfectly,
07:21keep your legs tight
07:23and jump as if you were participating in a trampoline championship.
07:27And yes,
07:28even jumping on the slide is not easy,
07:30so let's not even talk about parachute jumps.
07:33And what would you say about a parachute jump?
07:36Know that one person,
07:37only one,
07:38has survived a 10-kilometer parachute jump,
07:41but it is better not to try.
07:43It was Vesna Vulović,
07:45a Serbian air hostess.
07:47On January 25, 1972,
07:49the flight crew JAT-367
07:52arrived in Denmark,
07:53where she was mistakenly affected by this flight.
07:56Enthusiastic about her first trip in this country,
07:59she first wanted to explore the place,
08:01but she ended up shopping with her colleagues,
08:04which seemed unusually tense.
08:06The next day,
08:07flight 367 left Copenhagen.
08:10But shortly after takeoff,
08:12the plane exploded and broke into several pieces.
08:15Vesna was the only survivor among the 28 people on board.
08:18She was found buried under the rubble
08:20by a villager who took care of her until the rescue arrived.
08:23Investigators think she survived
08:25because she was stuck by a food cart
08:28in a part of the fuselage
08:29that had detached from the rest of the plane,
08:32and that the thick snow and the favorable angle
08:34had mitigated the impact.
08:36She suffered serious injuries,
08:37including paralysis,
08:39and spent several months recovering.
08:41She regained use of her legs,
08:43but she has been limping since the accident.
08:44Once restored,
08:46she expressed her desire to resume her air hostess job,
08:49but the airline she worked for
08:52reassigned her to the company's offices,
08:55fearing the attention of the media.
