Where is the safest place to sit, anyway?

到底坐在哪裡最安全？

According to an analysis of airplane crashes by Popular Mechanics, your best bet is to sit as far back in the airplane as possible.

根據《大眾機械》對飛機墜毀事故的分析，你最好的選擇是儘可能坐在飛機的後面。

Unless the plane goes down tail-first.

不管你坐在哪個區，都要知道緊急出口在哪裡。

When you get on the plane, count the rows to the closest one so that you can find it even if the cabin is filled with smoke.

上了飛機後，要數好離自己最近的那幾排，這樣即使機艙裡充滿了煙霧，也能找到它。

You know why?

你知道為什麼嗎？

Bend over, grab your legs behind your knees, and keep your head down.

彎腰，抓住膝蓋後面的腿，低頭。

In the worst-case scenario, the cabin will experience sudden pressure loss and oxygen deficiency.

在最壞的情況下，機艙會突然失壓缺氧。

You'll only have about ten seconds before you go unconscious.

在你失去知覺之前，你只有十秒鐘的時間。

So if you see the oxygen masks drop down, put one on yourself first.

所以，如果你看到氧氣面罩掉下來，先給自己戴上一個。

Only then should you try to help someone else.

只有這樣，你才應該試著幫助別人。

If you get to evacuate from the plane, do it as quickly as possible.

如果你能從飛機上撤離，要儘快撤離。

Don't try to get your carry-on to take with you - in the time you waste, you might end up getting stuck with it on a burning plane.

Finally, once you're on the ground, get as far away from the crash as you can.

最後，一旦你在地面上，就儘量遠離墜機地點。

If your plane hits the ground, there's a high chance of it exploding.

如果你的飛機撞到地面，很有可能會爆炸。

Run - at least 150 meters (500 feet) away from it in the direction against the wind, and wait for the rescuers to find you.

奔跑--至少150米（500英尺）遠的方向逆風而行，等待救援人員找到你。

It's good to be prepared for anything.

有備無患是好事。

But don't be afraid of flying.

In the history of aviation, it's never been a safer time to fly.

在航空史上，這是一個前所未有的安全飛行時間。

That's a little tip from me to you.

這是我給你的一點提示。
