    For planes with a stewardess, 90% of passengers survive a crash.

    A plane plunging into the ocean is not the most common type of crash. That vast majority of flights are over land.

    But also most crashes happen close to the airport because that whole taking off part is the riskiest, most fuel so most weight. Landing is the second most common but and leans towards pilot error.

    So it’s best for the entire flight crew to be sober for take off and landing.
