When this Boeing-727 crashed in the desert at a speed of 225 km/h, the resultant discovery was very surprising.
In a crash-test of this aeroplane, which mimicked a hard emergency landing, results showed that the best seats for safety were located in economy class with the most at risk passengers being those sitting in business class. The reason for this is that during a crash, the plane takes the brunt of the force in its nose. As economy class is located towards the back of the plane, it is much further away from the point of impact.
